Flood alert for Groundwater flooding in the Great Shefford area
Get flood warnings by phone, text or email
Groundwater levels are currently rising at our Northfield Farm borehole in the Great Shefford area as a result of recent persistent rainfall. Groundwater levels are above normal for this time of year and have reached a level where communities may be affected by groundwater flooding within the next week. We expect levels to continue to rise over the coming weeks and levels remain sensitive to further sustained rainfall. Low-lying land, roads and basements will therefore be at risk of flooding. Due to the nature of groundwater flooding, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer. We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message in a week, 24/12/2024 or as the situation changes.
