Steuart McIntyre Dam is approaching critical levels and requires lowering. A controlled discharge is scheduled for Tuesday 19 August. This will increase flows around Fattorini Creek, but no inconvenience is expected.
While many assume that the dam level is the key indicator for water restrictions, our dam is intended to be our last reserve. Ideally our water usage comes directly through the borefields and leaves our dam levels untouched. As such it is already a sign of water shortage if the dam is providing water for daily use.
Below is the Steuart McIntyre Dam levels from 2022 to present.
