Today at 1141 LaGrange lock experienced a system malfunction that has rendered the lock chamber inoperable.  The crew there ran through the usual processes to correct the problem and unfortunately were unsuccessful.  As of now we have reached out for support from our experts in the district to assist with troubleshooting and correcting the issue.  I will update you when the issue is resolved.
