Flood alert for Upper River Wey
Property flooding is not currently expected. River levels are rising on the River Wey as a result of a period of sustained rain. The forecast for today (03/01/24) is for a mostly dry day with some light rain this afternoon. Therefore, flooding of low-lying land remains a risk in the Tilford and Godalming area over the coming days.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Please remain safe and aware of your local surroundings. Avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and refer to the ‘River and Sea levels in England’ webpage for current river levels.
This message will be updated tomorrow morning, 04/01/24, or as the situation changes.
Flood alert area: Upper River Wey, including Alton, Farnham, Bordon, Frensham, Tilford, Godalming, Guildford and Peasmarsh.

However, Waverley and Guildford will have to face the NIGHTMARE ON THAMES WATER STREETS.
The year HAS ENDED as it began water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink unless it came out of a bottle – if you could find one!
We stood under our shower on Boxing Day, and not a drop fell on our sweaty bodies after our Christmas Day frivolities. Oh dear! `Her indoors was fuming. The air was blue, dirty dishes were everywhere after last night’s party, and guests were coming for lunch.
And, after all those public meetings with MPs and Thames Water’s plumply salaried executive thick on the ground – apologising for the 2023 fiascos in Waverley and Guildford, which forced shops and businesses to close and thousands of TW customers to go dry!
