High groundwater levels are expected to cause flooding. 

Flooding is expected from 28 January 2026 

Groundwater levels in Cranborne Chase are rising. Areas that could be affected include: Cheetle, Long Crichel and Moor Crichel. The groundwater level at the Rushmore borehole has risen to 139.82m, and is expected to rise further into next week. Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. Residents may experience inundation of septic tanks and sewer systems. Properties may experience flooding in cellars in affected areas. Flooding of roads is expected. 

We are closely monitoring the situation . 

If you have a pump, make sure it is working and switched on. Think about alternative power sources in case of power cuts .
