Be Safe, for Fun's Sake!
We're urging all visitors to our dams, lakes and parks to play it safe on the water this long weekend. Always wear a lifejacket, only swim in designated swimming areas, and make sure you check our recreation and safety notices for the latest lake conditions and safety updates.
Dam release notification service
Sign up to our free service and be notified when we are making water releases from our gated dams, and when our ungated dams start spilling excess water, or download our mobile app.
Managing SEQ’s Gated Dams
Our dams provide a safe, secure and cost-effective water supply, as well as help to mitigate floods. Seqwater manages three gated dams in South East Queensland – Wivenhoe Dam, Somerset Dam and North Pine Dam. Watch more about how gated dams work.
How gated dams work
Seqwater's dams not only capture and store drinking water for the region, but some are also designed to provide mitigation benefits.
