    Flooding is affecting Springvale Road in Kings Worthy. In Martyr Worthy, Chilland and Easton drainage ditches and culverts will become full and less effective as natural flow paths are restricted. Some properties may be affected as water seeps up through floors. Footpaths near the river will also be inaccessible. From Monday 02/03/2026 to Friday 06/03/2026, mostly dry weather is forecast. Groundwater levels will continue to fall for the next week.

    We are closely monitoring the situation.

    Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed.

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

    A considerable amount of water remains on the Somerset Levels and Moors. Flooding is still affecting the low-lying moors near the Rivers Yeo, Parrett, Sowy and Kings Sedgemoor Drain.
    We are maximising use of the River Sowy (Parrett Relief Channel) to drain down upstream moors, as river levels and water levels allow.
    Pumping stations are operating around Langport and temporary pumps over-pump at Dunball sluices during high tide, when water cannot gravitate into the River Parrett.
    Monday is expected to be largely dry and the weather is forecast to be more settled until Thursday.
    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.
