The drain level at Currymoor pumping station is 7.13 m and is falling by approximately 6 mm per hour. Athelney spillway is no longer running, although the water level in Currymoor is still very close to the spillway height. We are currently pumping at Currymoor, Saltmoor and Northmoor pumping stations to remove as much water from the moors as river and drain levels allow. The water level in Northmoor is falling. Very little rain is forecast for the next 5 days and we expect river levels to continue falling during this period. The situation across the moors is being continually monitored. River Parrett levels are being managed with the Sowy relief channel to assist Currymoor, Northmoor and Saltmoor pumping. Staff are also checking the condition of flood banks, spillways and weed screens. This message will be updated on Sunday, 22/01/2023, or as the situation changes.
