Flooding expected. Take action now.
River levels remain high but steady at the Brentingby Dam river gauge. Areas most at risk are Melton Mowbray and the Wreake Valley. Flooding is possible through Melton Mowbray beyond levels normally experienced. Brentingby Reservoir is operating as designed but has reached full capacity and is overspilling. Flooding is possible to properties near the River Eye over the next few hours due to additional flows travelling downstream.
No further rainfall is forecast.
We expect river levels to remain high until 08/01/25. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are patrolling watercourses in the area. Please move possessions and valuables off the ground or to safety and avoid contact with flood water.
To check the status of road closures online, please visit the One Network live map. This message will be updated by 15:00, 08/01/2025, or as the situation changes.
