The Conseil Général du Lot (the regional government) have acquired ownership of this spring, which will before long become another classic dive site in the Départment Lot.
Last week, the governments' technicians investigated the conditions around the site and found that the wall on the site is about to cave in and if that happens, a blockage of the entrance is likely to occur.
Sizable works need to be untertaken to rectify this situation and are planned to take place in September and October in order to create a safe and secure entry to the cave.
In the mean time, considering there is real risk of a cave in at this moment, the Conseil Général have ordered an immediate stop to all diving activities at Marchepied.
A municipal order will be effectuated by erection of a closure at the site in order to relieve the new owners of their legal responsibilies.
Please understand that after the works to secure the entrance have completed, the site will be opened for diving!
