The groundwater level at the Delcombe Wood borehole has risen to 139m above sea level and is forecast to stabilise at about this level for the next few days. For reference the peak level in January was 139.6m
The weather over the next two weeks will continue unsettled with a heavier band of rain expected midweek. This will maintain groundwater levels at their current position for several days.
Property flooding is expected and sewage systems may become inundated.
Residents should deploy any property resilience measures such as pumps, flood barriers and air brick covers.
Avoid driving through flood water as the bow wave from vehicles can flood adjacent properties.
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 as the situation changes.
