Groundwater levels in the Candovers and Old Alresford are high but slowly falling. In the last week, the level at Preston Candover has fallen by 19cm. At Old Alresford, the level has fallen by 20cm. We expect that a small number of properties will still be affected by cellar flooding. As we move towards Summer, groundwater levels and flooding impacts are expected to slowly reduce. Pumps used to reduce water levels may be required for around 6 weeks. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast.
