Spill record for Tinaroo
A ROBUST wet season and continued wet weather since has helped the Tinaroo Falls Dam set a new spill record of 218 days as of Monday.
The dam started spilling on 17 December last year in the wake of Cyclone Jasper, and has been spilling continuously since. This is its longest continuous spill since 1979, when it spilled for 205 days.
The storage level is currently at 101.1%, the with dam expected to continue spilling over the next few weeks.
Sunwater says this is a positive sign for irrigators, as the current level of inflows will enhance the region’s water security for some time to come.
