Flooding expected. Take action now.
The groundwater level at the Woodyates borehole has risen to 103.389m above sea level and is forecast to level off below 104m by the weekend.
The weather over the next two weeks will continue to be unsettled, bringing periods of light to moderate rainfall. This will maintain groundwater levels at their current position for some days to come.
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 now.
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 on Wednesday 28th February, or as the situation changes.
