There were problems with the gauge throughout 2014. During Jan-Apr readings were in the order of 20-30mm high while in July and August HWs appeared low. From September onwards it was suspected that the gauge was blocking. TGI were at site on four separate occasions. No levelling was carried out during 2014.
