Fleet Flooding | Flooding Issues in Fleet, Hampshire (Thames Water)

Every time I talk to an engineer about why the flooding is happening, they ALL say it is because the pumping station is not able to handle the flow. The pumps trip the circuit and off they stay, causing flooding and raw sewage to come out year after year after year!

My garden floods but the flood risk assessments tell builders that it doesn’t

I suffer from a flooded garden for between 3 – 11 months out of the year . My 90 foot garden is a waste of space ! I cant even let my dog out in it !

As Leader of Hart DC I am determined to get Thames Water to fix these problems once and for all !!

The sewage system in the local area is truly disgusting, living near it makes you wonder whether a small puddle is simply clear rain water or something you left behind and did not expect or want to see again.

This isn’t acceptable for any homeowners or for the children who need to wade through sewage to get an education. The company has been informed countless times and seems to have done nothing to rectify the situation so it stops happening long term.

Disgusting that children are having to walk through sewerage and nobody is doing anything about it. Also since we have had more and more houses built the flooding problem is getting worse, it’s as if the drainage system in Fleet is not coping.

Residents in Fleet have suffered from flooding for long enough. Thames Water please fix the issues as a matter of priority.

Sewage puddles near school. Unacceptable in my view.

It is time that it was sorted out, they keep inflicting more and more new developments on the Fleet area. it is time to put it right.

Cannot believe that in this day and age that drains in the local area flood really bad. We have had flooding in the bathroom of our house and also sewage down the drive. It’s about time Thames Water took responsibility and sorted this issue once and for all!!!

This is disgusting for everyone affected including the natural environment

[These upgrades are] so necessary – we are not meant to be living with third world standards! Hart is supposedly the best place to live – how can it be when our residents are enduring such filthy water flooding their homes & gardens!

Fleet residents have been treated very shoddily by a company that makes lots of money and is in a monopoly position – it’s about time Thames Water took some responsibility and showed some respect to the people who pay the bills.

For years we have witnessed first hand how bad this is. It’s time it stopped this is ridiculous and it won’t be long before people stop paying their water bill! Bet you will take us to court quicker than Fleet People have been trying to get you there!!!!!!!!

Fleet has accepted significant additional housing without corresponding investment in infrastructure including sewage and drainage facilities.

We experienced pump failure this winter several times and were unable to use any of our facilities.

Children shouldn’t have to walk through sewage to get to school!

I have had 13 years of misery, 3 times the sewage has entered my property, numerous times the drains have surcharged flooding my garden with sewage. Want to move, but I am stuck like a prisoner and not enough is done to resolve the issue.

Fed up with the flooding outside my house. It stretches across the road, down the drives & my path down the side of the house is 1″ deep at the worst. Council have been advised, do little apart from clear the leaves
