Homes in Havant endangered last night following flood from natural spring

The Havant branch of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Services rushed out last night to deal with a flood where hundreds of litres had to be pumped from a natural spring into a drain.

The incident was a concern for those living in the Springwell area of Havant due to the rising water levels and crew members stayed on the scene for approximately an hour.

A spokesperson for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Services said: ‘Havant firefighters were called shortly before 10pm last night to pump water from a natural spring into a drain after the water had begun to rise, endangering a number of properties.

‘The crew left the scene on Springwell shortly after 11pm when the incident was left with Environment Agency and Southern Water teams.’
