Seqwater advises our flood engineers are closely monitoring the weather and dam conditions 24/7 at the Flood Operations Centre which has moved to the Stand Up activation level.

Due to persistent rainfall in the upper catchments and continuing inflows into Somerset Dam and Wivenhoe Dam, flood releases will begin in the coming 6 hours that consider downstream flows in accordance with the Manual of Operational Procedures for Flood Mitigation for Somerset Dam and Wivenhoe Dam. The Somerset Dam flood storage compartment is at 1.3% of its capacity. The Wivenhoe Dam flood storage compartment is at 0.4% of its capacity.

These releases are required to safely manage water levels at the dam and ensure there is capacity for any further inflows.

Several ungated dams are spilling excess water.
