Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Groundwater levels at the borehole in Harestock are high but slowly falling. In the last week, the level has fallen by 70cm.
Flooding is affecting Springvale Road in Kings Worthy. In Martyr Worthy, Chilland and Easton drainage ditches and culverts will become full and less effective as natural flow paths are restricted. Some properties may be affected as water seeps up through floors. Footpaths near the river will also be inaccessible. From Monday 02/03/2026 to Friday 06/03/2026, mostly dry weather is forecast. Groundwater levels will continue to fall for the next week.
We are closely monitoring the situation.
Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed.
