Flood Warning issued on 16 Nov 2019 03:32
River Slea, Ninefoot River
Heavy rain has fallen in the Slea catchment causing River Slea to rise to its highest recorded level. The rising levels have already caused flooding of low lying gardens and roads in Sleaford, and we expect properties in Sleaford to be affected. Low lying properties near the river Slea, Electric Road Station, West Banks and nearby locations are most at risk. There is also a risk of groundwater flooding from springs emerging from the ground. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. Please avoid contact with flood water. Our staff have been out in Sleaford to operate sluices, gates and manage water levels in the area but the river system is now being overwhelmed. We will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated by Saturday, 16th of November, or as the situation changes.
