  29. Flood alert Groundwater flooding in West Dean, Singleton, Charlton, East Dean and Chilgrove West SussexGroundwater
    Message

    Groundwater is high, very close to the surface, but now falling. Springs will continue to appear, water will be in fields, and groundwater will affect the ability of the sewage network to operate in East Dean, Charlton, Singleton and West Dean. Small amounts of water may still flow down roads, and intermittently appear in a few basements. Predominantly fine weather is forecast through the first half of the week, with a small amount of rain forecast on Thursday and Friday 3/4/2026. Groundwater at both Chilgrove and East Dean boreholes is expected to continue to fall. It is probable that groundwater will continue to fall throughout the remainder of spring and whole of summer, although the sewage network may continue to be affected by groundwater until mid April. Take care on roads that flood (Chilgrove, West Dean, Singleton, East Dean). Ensure pumps work. We will update this message by 18:00 on 3/4/2026.
