Flooding expected. Take action now.
The groundwater level at the Woodyates borehole has risen to 102.6m above sea level and is forecast to peak at this point. For reference the peak in January was 105.55
The weather over the next two weeks will continue unsettled with a band of rain expected early next week and another by next weekend. These will bring periods of light to moderate rainfall. This will maintain groundwater levels at their current position for several days. There is a hint that a blocking high pressure system will become established to the east of the country bringing some respite as more settled weather develops.
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 on Sunday or as the situation changes.
