Attention Hertfordshire Residents! ?️
A yellow weather warning for rain in Hertfordshire is in place today until Friday 9am.
We’ve experienced significant flooding over the last few days, with some areas receiving a month’s worth of rainfall (8-10cm) over just 22 hours. This sort of rainfall is expected to happen only once every 390 years – a very rare occurrence. Our teams worked hard to keep disruption to a minimum and the roads safe.
Despite our regular cycles of gully and drain cleaning and our planned flood alleviation schemes, when this much rain falls the drainage systems can become overwhelmed. That’s why as we head towards winter, we need to be prepared. Please help us by reporting floods and finding out ways you can protect yourself.

Stay safe and dry! ?
