Groundwater levels in Bishops Sutton are high, rising and falling with each rainfall event. We expect properties in Bishops Sutton to be affected by cellar flooding. Roads (such as the B3047) will be flooded, and impacts to septic tanks are ongoing. We expect that a small number of properties may be experiencing internal ground floor flooding. From today (21/03/2024) to Sunday (24/03/2024), light showers are forecast. On Monday (25/03/2024), further rain (up to 12mm) is forecast in Hampshire, although this is not expected to be impactful. Groundwater levels are likely to remain high and will respond to any heavy rainfall events. But given the mostly dry forecast, levels could begin to slowly fall this week. Cellar flooding impacts are expected to continue throughout March. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. If you have pumps to help reduce water levels, please ensure that they are operating. This Flood Alert will be updated by 18:00 on Thursday 28/03/2024.
