Reporting Faults on the Waterways

Reporting Faults on the Waterways

IWA Lengthsman Report Forms

The IWA Lengthsman Initiative encourages all waterways users to report issues affecting the safe use of the waterways network and provides a series of simple templated report forms on which to record;

Abandoned trolleys in watercourses,

Faulty locks,

Other maintenance issues.affecting the safety or enjoyment of the waterways network.

The reports are set up to electronically self-direct to IWA who will pass them on to the relevant authority for action.

In doing so it is intended that IWA will be able to understand the practical impact of the cuts on the maintenance of the system and hold the authorities and government to account.
