Groundwater levels are high, but are falling slowly, at our Hodcott borehole near West Ilsley, East Ilsley and Compton. Groundwater remains at a level at which communities may be affected by groundwater flooding. This week is forecast to be changeable. We expect groundwater levels to remain high for the next few weeks and levels are sensitive to sustained rainfall. Low-lying land and properties will therefore continue to be at risk of flooding. We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message next week, by 29/04/2025, or as the situation changes.
