Latest update on flooding at Helix and Kelpies
Visitors are still not able to drive into The Helix today after a burst water main caused large-scale flooding and submerged areas of the park.
The visitor centre at the world-renowned tourist attraction is also closed until further notice.
However, it appears that the cause of the flooding has now been found and water is slowly draining away.
In a joint statement from Falkirk Council and Scottish Canals issued last night (Monday), they said: "The Helix remains closed to all vehicles due to ongoing flooding, and our visitor centre will close at 5pm today.
"We are continuing to work closely with Scottish Water to identify and resolve the cause of the flooding.
"The safety of our visitors and staff remains our top priority. Depending on conditions, the visitor centre may also remain closed tomorrow.
"We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. Please continue to check the Helix Park Falkirk for the latest updates."
But in an updated social media post today, they say that while the source of the problem has been found, things are still not back to normal.
It stated: “The Helix remains closed to vehicles today, and our visitor centre will also be closed. The team at Scottish Water were able to locate the source of the flooding late last night, and the water is slowly draining away.
“The toilets at both the visitor centre and the car park are currently closed. Please use the toilets at The Hide.
“We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.”
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: "We are aware of a burst water main near the Forth & Clyde Canal, adjacent to Helix Park and The Kelpies in Falkirk, which has resulted in the temporary closure of the visitor car park.
"The affected water main has been isolated to alleviate flooding and minimise any further impact to the surrounding area.
"We are working closely with Scottish Canals and The Helix visitor team as we continue our investigations to repair the burst water main.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank visitors for their patience and understanding."
