The groundwater level at the Woodyates borehole has risen to 103.26 above sea level, and will rise steadily into the weekend. For reference the peak level in January was 105.55m
The weather over the next two weeks will continue unsettled. Groundwater levels are expected to remain high until the middle of the month.
Property flooding is expected and sewage systems may become inundated.
Residents should deploy any property flood resilience measures such as pumps, flood barriers and air brick covers.
Avoid driving through flood water as the bow wave from vehicles can flood adjacent properties.
Do not lift manhole covers to alleviate local surface water flooding as this may cause toilets further downhill to surcharge.
This message will be updated as the situation changes.
