INFORMATION ON THE START OF THIS SUMMERS ENVIRONMENTAL WATER RELEASES FOR THE CANNING

The following Canning release points were turned on last Friday in response to the warm weather and declining stream flow:

• Araluen
• Bernard Road
• Manning Avenue
• Gosnells Bridge

The remaining two release points, Stocker Road (formerly Hill 60) and Orlando Street will be turned on soon.

We will continue to monitor stream flow at Seaforth gauging station and at each of our management points on a weekly basis. Releases will be incrementally turned up as needed. They will be turned up to their maximum volumes on 20 December unless done so earlier. From 1 December we will start monitoring temperature forecasts and turn releases up if hot weather is forecast.

If you have any queries/questions regarding anything other than releases please direct them to Leanne Hartley.

Regards

Renée
