Flood Warning issued on 5 Apr 2024 17:41
Groundwater
The groundwater level at the Hazelberry Plantation borehole has risen to 126.717m above sea level, and is forecast to rise to 127.5m by the beginning of next week. For reference the peak level in January was 127.947m
The weather over the next two weeks will continue unsettled. Groundwater levels are expected to remain high until the middle of the month.
Property flooding is expected and sewage systems may become inundated.
Residents should deploy any property flood resilience measures such as pumps, flood barriers and air brick covers.
Avoid driving through flood water as the bow wave from vehicles can flood adjacent properties.
Do not lift manhole covers to alleviate local surface water flooding as this may cause toilets further downhill to surcharge.
This message will be updated as the situation changes.

Property flooding is possible and sewage systems may become inundated.
Residents should deploy any property resilience measures such as pumps, flood barriers and air brick covers.

Groundwater
The groundwater level at the Hazelbury Plantation borehole has now peaked and will continue to slowly drop back over the next few days. Flooding of roads and some properties is expected to gradually recede by the beginning of next week.
Residents should keep any property resilience measures such as pumps, flood barriers and air brick covers deployed as there may be a delayed response.
Driving through flood water will be especially dangerous as temperatures will drop to below freezing at times over the next week and will cause ice to form on roads. The bow wave from vehicles can flood adjacent properties and lead to icing of pavements.
Sewage systems may remain problematic over the next few days.
Do not lift manhole covers to alleviate local surface water flooding as this may cause toilets further downhill to surcharge.
