Surface water

Massive volume of water not draining away properly and backing up into the street, flooding manholes and other street level furniture, such as electrical or telecom installations.

While this area is prone to flooding, the volume of stationary water is not proportional to the rainfall or to the underlying water table. There’s a potential that the changes to the river structure built this autumn by the EA at Flashetts have adversely impacted the surface water sewers in this road. I’ll send a picture to illustrate later.
