Groundwater levels are currently stable at our Northfield Farm borehole in the Great Shefford area. However, groundwater levels remain above normal for this time of year and are at a level where communities may be affected by groundwater flooding within the next week.

We expect levels to remain sensitive to further sustained rainfall, Low-lying land, roads and basements may be at risk of flooding.

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 in a week, 21/01/2025 or as the situation changes.
