Environment Agency Update:
Rivers across Somerset have responded rapidly to rainfall in January and water has moved down the catchments into the Levels and Moors. Curry Moor Flood Storage reservoir is now full, water flowed into Althelney Spillway yesterday and consequently the A361 was flooded yesteday and now is closed. The EA is reporting that they have anticipated the trigger points being met and additional temporary pumps are being deployed to Curry Moor, Saltmoorand Northmoor to enhance our pumps capacity and we expect those to be installed and operational later this week.
