This lock is part of a group of similar structures regulating the course of the Sambre. However, there are problems: in January 2024, 25 meters of bank collapsed at the Mornimont lock.

07/14/2021: This Tuesday, around 10:30 p.m., firefighters from the Val de Sambre rescue zone intervened in Mornimont (Jemeppe-sur-Sambre), along the Sambre. The stream overflowed, flooding the rue de l'Ecluse. The cause seems to be poor communication. The upstream lock released the water while the Mornimont lock was closed.
