And the risk of floodwater overtopping the defence is currently reduced, this severe flood warning remains as the high river level still has the potential to cause risk to life. Flooding may affect properties and roads in and around Waterside. We anticipate that this severe flood warning will remain in force at least until tomorrow 20/02/20.
