Groundwater levels are continuing to rise slowly at our Hodcott borehole near West Ilsley, East Ilsley and Compton following rainfall over recent weeks.

Groundwater levels are above normal and are at a level where communities may be affected by groundwater flooding. We expect levels to continue rising slowly and levels will remain sensitive to further sustained rainfall.

Due to the nature of groundwater flooding, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer. We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message next week, 11/02/2025, or as the situation changes.
