"It depends": Seqwater advises dam releases may commence within 48-72 hours
Since the January 2011 flood, the Manual of Operational Procedures for Flood Mitigation at Wivenhoe Dam and Somerset Dam has undergone nine revisions with a major revision.
Ahead of Cyclone Alfred's arrival, Wivenhoe Dam is currently at about 86 per cent and no flood releases have occurred yet.
Peter Fegan asked Seqwater CEO Emma Thomas when water may begin being released, and Ms. Thomas replied, "Well, it depends on a number of factors... but we will probably start releasing in the coming days, anywhere from 48 to 72 hours, but that's not an exact figure either."
