Flood warning

Groundwater levels in Salisbury Plain remain high. Areas that could be affected include: Hindon. The groundwater level at the Terraces borehole has risen to 116m, and is expected to remain high due to recent rainfall. Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. Residents may experience inundation of septic tanks and sewer systems. Properties may experience flooding in cellars in affected areas. No further significant rainfall is forecast for the next few days.

Flooding of roads is expected, take particular care when driving, both for your own safety and to prevent flooding to others. Roads may have become damaged by floodwater.

Where groundwater is near the surface, intense rainfall will lead to surface water flooding. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
