A flood alert has been issued. Groundwater levels in the Candovers and Old Alresford are high but falling slowly. In the last week, the level at Preston Candover has fallen by 20cm. Just 1mm of rain was recorded at Bishops Sutton during this time. A small number of properties in Preston Candover are expected to be affected by cellar flooding. Septic tanks will be struggling to operate effectively. From today (10/06/2024) to Friday (14/06/2024), periods of rain and showers are forecast to affect Hampshire with between 10 and 20mm possible. However, this is not expected to cause a rise in groundwater levels, and the situation is expected to continue improving. If relatively dry weather is forecast next week, we will remove this Flood Alert. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. If you have pumps to help reduce water levels, please ensure that they can operate. This Flood Alert will be updated or removed by 18:00 on Monday 17/06/2024.

- Check that you know how to turn off your gas, electricity and water mains supplies.
