Flooding possible. Be prepared.
River levels across West Somerset remain high on Friday 23rd January following overnight rain. Flooding is possible as a result.
Areas most at risk include the Horner Water, River Aller, Washford River and the Hawkcombe, Monksilver and Doniford Streams and their tributaries, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected.
We are closely monitoring the situation and Field Teams are out clearing debris screens and checking rivers for blockages.
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Remain aware of local water levels and weather conditions and don’t put yourself or others at risk.
