Flooding expected. Take action now.
Water levels in the River Arun are high and rising steadily following 50 mm of persistent rain since Saturday 15/02/2020. This is a significant amount in a short period of time. From 18:00 this evening 16/02/2020 isolated flooding impacts are expected to affect a small number of properties (Isolated mill buildings and properties close to the River Arun). Broadbridge Heath, Wanford and Pallingham may experience flooding to land and maybe buildings. Rain is expected tomorrow 17/02/2020 but is not expected to increase water levels. The river will peak by 23:30 tonight 16/02/2020, returning to normal by Monday afternoon 17/02/2020. Flood protection products are recommended to be installed in Wanford, if you have them. Our automatic sluice at Wanford is open as far as possible to help reduce the risk of flooding. This message will be updated by 20:00 17/02/2020.
