Trail Boat ‘Edith Elizabeth’: Refurbishment of the boat is nearing completion thanks to a lottery grant of £5000.
Crumlin Arm: The quest for water on the Crumlin Arm, after the initial survey by volunteer Lindsay, is being supported by Caerphilly and Welsh Water, the later have been checking for "miss connections" and testing water quality with a view to reconnecting the underground water at manor Road to the Canal. However, water is urgently needed at "Wysomes Wharf", further up, to be able to run Iswyln Canal Association's Trip Boat. Plenty of water goes under the Canal at Pontywaun but an innovative way of delivering it into the Canal, like a Water Wheel, is required. This would be an interesting project for a volunteer with time and know-how in conjunction with Caerphilly C.B.C.
