Flooding expected. Take action now.
The groundwater level at the Everleigh borehole has now peaked and will continue to slowly drop back over the next few days. Flooding of roads and some properties is expected to gradually recede by the beginning of next week.
Residents should keep any property resilience measures such as pumps, flood barriers and air brick covers deployed as there may be a delayed response.
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 remain problematic over the next few days.
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 Saturday 13th January, or as the situation changes.
