  31. Flood alert River Yeo and Parrett, The Levels SomersetRiver Yeo, River Parrett, Kings Sedgemoor Drain, River Sowy
    Message

    Floodwater is reducing but a considerable amount of water remains on the Somerset Levels and Moors. Flooding is still affecting the low-lying Muchelney and West Sedgemoor moors near the Rivers Yeo, Parrett, Sowy and Kings Sedgemoor Drain.

    We are maximising use of the River Sowy (Parrett Relief Channel) to drain the upstream moors, as river levels and water levels allow.

    Pumping stations are operating at Huish Episcopi and West Sedgemoor and temporary pumps over-pump at Dunball sluices during high tides, when water cannot gravitate into the River Parrett.

    Tuesday forecast is for rain and drizzle in places as a front arrives from the west. Overnight into Wednesday morning forecast is for moderate rain that clears eastward across the area.

    We are closely monitoring the situation, and our Field Teams are operating structures and pumps.

    Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Don’t put yourself or others at risk.
