Flood Alert issued on 11 Feb 2024 11:06
East Fen Catchwater, West Fen Catchwater, Maud Fos
In the last 48 hours we have seen heavy rainfall in the East and West Fens catchment. This has caused watercourses in the area to rise, leading to flooding of low lying land and roads close to the rivers. We expect the rivers to remain high throughout the next few days and flooding to gardens, driveways or outhouses is possible close to the rivers. Our forecasts indicate that flooding inside properties isn't likely and therefore flood warnings are not expected to be issued. We are constantly monitoring river levels and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated online and on FloodLine by 17:00 on 12/02/2024, or before if the situation changes.

Over the last 24 hours we have seen heavy rainfall over the East and West Fen area. This means that the rivers in the area will continue to rise, which will lead to flooding of low lying land and roads close to the river during Saturday. We expect the river to remain high for the next few days. Our forecasts at this time indicate that flooding to properties isn't likely and therefore flood warnings are not currently expected to be issued. We are constantly monitoring river levels, and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated as the situation changes.
