If there is flooding on a highway, you can report it to Gloucestershire Highways on 08000 514 514

Flooding from public sewers: Severn Trent Water on 0800 783 4444

Flooding from private sewers or private drains: homeowner will need to engage a drainage contractor and/or contact Severn Trent (see above)

For flooding caused by land drainage problems or minor water courses it depends on the situation:

a) if it’s the person’s own land they need to engage a contractor to remove the blockage

b) If it’s from someone else’s land they need to contact the landowner or report it to the Flooding Incident Line, 0300 2000 100.
