Maintenance team attended Snitterby on May 20th to clear and jet the gully and drain outside the Royal Oak. The team identified a fault in the system that they believe is the cause of the blockage. An order has been raised to undertake the work but so far a timeline has not been issued. In summary the work is to extend a pipe from the gully into the stream.
