A number of properties in Eastbury have now been flooded and the road through the village is still closed.
The army is being deployed into the village today to deliver around 40 sandbags to those most affected and most at risk of flooding, and also to assist with pumping floodwater from affected areas.
The Plough pub at Eastbury is still open for business.
The chairman of Purley Parish Council, Rick Jones, said that up to 30 properties - mostly those that are expected to flood - had been flooded.
"The river is higher than it was in January and still rising," said Mr Jones. "They are forecasting that it will reach 2003 levels which was disastrous.
"Everyone is hanging around waiting. We are going to get some more property flooding this time. We are expecting a few that just missed it a few weeks ago."
The Barn Community Centre has been set up to cater for people who need to evacuate their homes while portaloos have also been set up in two points in the village due to issues with sewage when the village was flooded in January.
He added that so far, St Mary's Avenue had sewage flooding into the floodwater.
Properties in Theale are among those that have been flooded in the district, while the Fox and Hounds pub is closed today due to the extent of road closures and flooding in the village.
A Facebook page called 'Help for Newbury Residents Affected by the Floods' has now been created to offer help and support to all of those who have been affected in the area.
Last night, fire crews performed three water rescues to people trapped in floodwater in their cars.
At 8pm, one pump from Dee Road station, with assistance from the water rescue boat crew from Caversham Road station, rescued two females and three children from a vehicle trapped in Deans Copse Road, Burghfield.
The team were called out again at around 1am to a woman, thought to be in her 50s or 60s, trapped in her vehicle in Mill Road, who had tried to find a diversion route with Burghfield Road being closed due to flooding by the Cunning Man pub.
In both incidents, fire crews returned the people to their homes, but the vehicles were stuck at the scene.
One pump from Newbury was also called out to assist with a couple who were stuck in their vehicle at Long Lane, Shaw at 8.30pm.
Thames Valley Police, West Berkshire Council and the Environment Agency are urging people not to attempt to drive through floodwater.
Not only can floodwater cause substantial damage to cars, but the authorities have issued the warning that 30cm of floodwater is enough to move a car.
Severe weather warnings are no longer in force across the district, however further rain is expected from 9am to 6pm today.
The downpours are taking their toll on waterways locally, as well as causing substantial groundwater flooding as the rain falls on already heavily saturated ground.
Yesterday, the River Kennet in both Newbury and Theale broke its record water levels, the River Lambourn burst its banks in Eastbury, forcing the closure of the Newbury Road, and several others flooded.
