Lower Tame Flood alert 9:09am, Sunday 1st March

Flooding possible. Be prepared.

Flood alert

River levels are high and steady at the Hopwas river gauge, therefore the risk of flooding will remain throughout Sunday. Some light rainfall is forecast, but no further increases are expected, we expect levels to decrease during Sunday.
Flooding may affect low-lying land and roads adjacent to the River Tame between Hopwas and the National Arborteum at Alrewas.

We are monitoring rainfall and river levels. Avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. Stay away from flood water - it contains hidden dangers such as open man hole covers, sewage and chemicals.

This message will be updated by 11:00 Monday 2 March or as the situation changes.
