Last updated 12th Dec 2023
Water pumps are being deployed across Somerset as the county deals with a week of heavy flooding.
The ground remains saturated and two flood warnings are still in place across Somerset, with the river levels remaining high.
It's after three Met Office alerts for rain came into force over the course of the last week, with more rain today.
The Environment Agency say pumps will be heading out to Westover and Huish Episcopi stations this week, for use when river levels drop.
Last week The Environment Agency said the levels were in a good position to absorb the extra rainfall
