The River Tone level at Currymoor pumping station is 7.22 m and falling very slowly. Water enters Currymoor reservoir via Hookbridge spillway if this level exceeds 7.45 m, but this is increasingly unlikely with the continuing dry weather. The drain level at Currymoor pumping station is 5.38 m and is falling by approximately 9 mm per hour. We are currently pumping to reduce the water in the moor as quickly as possible. Dry weather is forecast for the next five days from today, Thursday 01/12/2022. This flood alert remains in force due to the amount of water still on the moor, but with the dry weather, the situation will improve. We will continue to monitor the situation, and our incident response staff are busy clearing weed screens and checking the condition of the spillways. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers which may be flooded.
