Somerset Levels and Moors 01.01.2023

Across the Levels & Moors, two flood alerts remain in place.

The weather has continued to be mostly dry, with a settled short-term forecast. All spillways have stopped running and river levels are stable.

We are continuing to pump at all stations, with most moors having returned to their normal winter levels. Currymoor is now 9% full. Some of the moors are still storing small volumes of water, which is reducing as pumps continue to operate. In areas where the water does not have a route to drain to ditches due to the profile of the land, for example where fields are lower in the centre, there may still be standing water. This will gradually soak away into the ground.

Monksleaze Clyce has been closed, with the Sowy and Kings Sedgemoor Drain now at normal winter levels.

As the immediate risk of flooding is now greatly reduced, we will no longer be sending out these briefings. However, we will be organising activities to support the recovery from recent events, and we will keep you updated as plans develop. Whenever there is a significant flooding event, the Environment Agency reviews the circumstances that led up to the event as well as the response. This ensures that any learning can be integrated into planning for future flood events. Information and comments from the public are considered as part of this review.

Please keep an eye on our social media for regular updates.

Cutts Road and New Road remain closed. Somerset County Council Highways will make the decision about when these roads are safe to open. As water recedes, we continue to urge motorists not to attempt to drive through flood water.
