Residents in Littlehampton were evacuated after flooding affected up to nine properties due to a technical failure at Southern Water's Foreshore Water Pumping Station on February 19. One resident reported significant damage to his basement flat, with water reaching waist height and sewage contaminating the premises.

Emergency services, including Sussex Police and West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, responded to manage the situation. Affected residents received assistance as engineers restored operations at the pumping station.
