Pumps were switched on at Currymoor this afternoon after levels in the Tone started to fall. Monksleaze was partially opened as Parrett spillways slowed. With dry weather ahead and tides falling, pumping will commence at all Langport stations as soon as possible. @EnvAgencySW

[Adrian Govier @AdrianGovierEA]

@InsignificantMe Hi Dawn. The EA have no way of lowering the rhyne you are referring to, The IDB have made adjustments in the area to try to improve the situation. The EA will resume pumping at West Sedgemoor Pumping Station as soon as levels in the Parrett recede.

[Adrian Govier @AdrianGovierEA]

Allermoor, Beasleys and Hook spillways started running overnight, all Langport and Currymoor pumps have stopped pumping due to high river levels in the Parrett and Tone after yesterdays rain. Pumping will resume when levels subside. @EnvAgencySW

It was great to visit several Environment Agency sites on Friday to see the upgrades they've made to protect Somerset from flooding. I'm particularly excited by their new telemetry devices that'll give local communities more agency and reassurance ahead of the winter.
