Flooding expected. Take action now.
The groundwater level at the Delcombe Wood borehole has risen to 138.345m above sea level and is forecast to rise to 138.823m and will continue gradually upwards until the weekend. For reference the peak level in January was 139.641m.
A blocking high pressure system has developed over Scandinavia which will bring some respite as more settled weather develops. This will last until the weekend when we will probably see a return to more unsettled weather.
Property flooding is still possible and sewage systems may become inundated.
Residents should keep deployed any property 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.
