The River Yeo level at Huish Episcopi Pumping Station is 7.94 m and falling slowly. The drain level is 7.23 m and steady. Flooding will affect the road from Langport to Muchelney if this drain level exceeds 7.3 m.
We have commenced pumping at Huish Episcopi and Westover pumping stations and will continue to use the Parrett Relief Channel to further reduce river levels. We will maximise pumping operations to clear as much water off the moors as possible during this settled period.
The weather is forecast to be largely dry over the weekend although isolated showers are possible.
We continue to monitor the situation closely. Do not attempt to drive, cycle or walk through flood water, and be careful using footpaths near local watercourses and flooded areas. Refer to @TravelSomerset for local road closures.
This message will be updated by 4PM tomorrow, Saturday 12/10/2024, or as the situation changes.
