All 5 gates at Wivenhoe Dam have been opened, and it’s a dam impressive sight! 💧 Controlled releases are normal and help to release excess floodwater, restore drinking water levels, and keep our dams safe. Keep safe by avoiding hazards downstream, like fast-flowing or deep water near waterways. 🌊 | Seqwater

Seqwater advises operational releases from Somerset Dam into Wivenhoe Dam are planned for the next 48 hours and potentially throughout the week. These low flow releases are to balance the storages across Somerset and Wivenhoe Dams, and are not expected to cause the lake level in Wivenhoe Dam to increase by more than 0.5 metres in the next 48 hours. Operational releases are common to balance the lake levels across Somerset and Wivenhoe dams. There are no water releases planned for Wivenhoe Dam. |
