The heavy and persistent rainfall that fell throughout Thursday and into Friday morning across Lincolnshire has caused river levels in the River Witham catchment to rise. River levels are expected to remain high throughout the next few days, and have already caused flooding of low lying land and roads in the lower reaches of the Witham and its tributaries. Further showers are expected over the next few days, which will keep river levels high for some time to come. Low lying properties near the river are most at risk. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. Please avoid contact with flood water. We will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated on Sunday 10th November or as the situation changes.

River Witham
Heavy rain last weekend has resulted in very high levels in the River Witham. Due to the slow responding nature of this lower part of the catchment, it could take several days for the river to drop back down. The high river levels have already caused flooding of low lying land and roads near to the river, and we expect properties in the Fens between Chapel Hill and Boston to continue to be affected. Low lying properties near the river are most at risk. River levels are being affected by tide lock, where the Witham is not able to flow out to sea at Boston, during periods of high tides. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. Please avoid contact with flood water. Our staff are out in the area to check the flood defences, clear blockages, and assist the emergency services and council. We will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated on Thursday morning 31st October, or as the situation changes.
