The River Tone level at Currymoor pumping station is currently 7.75m. Water will enter Currymoor via Hookbridge spillway whilst this level exceeds 7.45m. The drain level at Currymoor pumping station is 7.77m. Cutts Road and New Road remain closed. Athelney spillway is running and the A361 remains closed. For road closure information please refer to www.somerset.gov.uk/roads-travel-and-parking/emergency-road-closure-gates/. We are pumping at Northmoor and Saltmoor stations and additional mobile pumps are now running at Northmoor. The River Tone level is still too high for pumping at Currymoor. We will commence pumping at Currymoor once river levels allow. Throughout the day isolated showers are forecast, with a band of more sustained rain this evening through to the early hours of Friday morning. We are monitoring the situation closely and staff are checking floodbanks and spillways. Please do not walk, cycle or drive through flood water.
