Heavy rain fall has caused floods across the county as the remnants of Hurricane Bertha pass over the county.
More than an inch of rain had fallen by 1pm today with more on the way and the rain is expected to be followed by gale-force winds.
The weather has led to delays on the road and Leicestershire's cricket match against Northants at Grace Road had to be called off.
The Environment Agency has issued a Flood Alert for all waterways in the Loughborough area, Thringstone and Whitwick, and Severn Trent has been dealing with floods and blocked drains.
James Jesic, waste water manager for Severn Trent, said the number of calls the company was receiving was four times what they would normally get on a Sunday.
He said: "We were aware that this weather was coming and we've worked hard to get ready for it.
"We've got plenty of staff on the phones in our call centre and additional teams available on the ground to deal with flooding issues.
"We're also out and about keeping an eye on those areas with a high risk of flooding."
Police said they had received a number of reports of flooding across the county.
The A47 King Richards Road near the River Soar was among the roads to flood, causing ongoing delays on the road.
Earlier today there were long queues on the M69 after a minor crash which closed two northbound lanes of the motorway near Leicester this morning just moments after police warned motorists to take care on the road.
At about 11.10am today Leicestershire police tweeted: "We have had a number of reports of flooding as a result of the rain. There is standing water on parts of the M69 - so please drive carefully."
Just two minutes later the Highways Agency tweeted that there had been crash on the northbound carriageway between junction two and the M1.
The road re-opened shortly before midday.
