Flood alert

At Romsey and Testwood, levels in the River Test are high but stable. In the last 48 hours, over 27 mm of rain was recorded at Romsey. Currently (29/03/2024) there remains a significant amount of water flooding land and fields from Timsbury to Romsey. Some footpath flooding may be affecting Rivermead Close and the Memorial Park. At Romsey Industrial estate, water may be ponded on land near to Greatbridge Road. Land at Broadlands and Testwood will also be in flood. Scattered showers are forecast today (29/03/2024) but will not produce significant amounts of rainfall. The forecast for the rest of the weekend is to be fairly dry. While water levels in the river will begin to reduce, they will remain higher than normal over the next few weeks. We are managing sluices to balance water levels through the town. We recommend private sluice owners undertake regular sluice operation. Flooded land at Testwood may require livestock to be moved. This Flood Alert will be updated by 18:00 on 30/03/2024.
