What you can report 

  • Main river
  • Minor river or stream (also known as an ordinary watercourse)
  • Coastal – waves – significant amount of waves splashing over the seawall or promenade
  • Coastal – floodgate – floodgates are open but sea conditions mean they should be closed
  • Blocked gully – a gully is a square metal grid, usually found at the side of a road. Commonly called a drain.
  • Blocked trench drain – a trench drain is a long channel with a grill cover which helps surface water to drain away
  • Blocked trash screen – a trash screen is metal bars that stops debris blocking a stream or river. They sometimes need clearing to allow water to flow.

What we don’t do:

Foul drainage – Welsh Water (call 0800 085 3968)
If you see toilet paper or effluent in the water, this is a problem with a sewer.

Private land – if the flooding is not affecting property this will be classed as a low priority issue.
