Maldon weir

[edit]

Operational Details Maldon Weir was constructed in 1968 to provide a permanent fresh water supply for Blue Circle Southern Cement Ltd. This weir was critical for the operation of the cement works at the time, however pumping for the cement works now takes place approximately 300 metres downstream of the weir crest and not from the weir pool.[3]
