Flooding expected. Take action now.
The groundwater level at the Everleigh borehole is rising in response to recent heavy rainfall and will continue to do so for the next 48 hours. Flooding of roads and some properties, especially basements is expected to continue.
Residents should deploy any property resilience measures such as pumps, flood barriers and air brick covers.
Driving through flood water will be especially dangerous as temperatures will drop to below freezing at times over the next week and will cause ice to form on roads. The bow wave from vehicles can flood adjacent properties and lead to icing of pavements.
Sewage systems may become overloaded. 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 on Tuesday 9th January, or as the situation changes.
