A measuring device in a weir has been removed to allow the faster flow of water away from the reservoir's main spillway.
The concrete device is V shaped and and sits in the middle of the channel to measure the flow of the water.
It was slowing water down so it has been removed, the Canal and River Trust said.

Professor Nigel Wright is a civil engineer at Nottingham Trent University.
The expert in flood management told the BBC it will take a few more days until the water is reduced to an acceptable level.
Image source, Tilly OwenHe said: "You can't let the water out of the reservoir too quickly because that can just cause flooding problems downstream.
"They're trying to get the water out of the reservoir as quickly as they can without causing further damage
"In the meantime, shoring the dam so it does not collapse."
Mr Wright said it's "unlikely" the dam will be repaired and is more likely to be replaced.
He said this long-term work shouldn't stop residents from returning home - as long as the water levels are safe.
A woman evacuated from Whaley Bridge made a video of the repair work from her mother's house, which is in an elevated spot near the dam.
