On 6 November 2020, the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy approved an application by Seqwater to amend the full supply levels for Somerset Dam and Wivenhoe Dam (part of the Somerset Dam Upgrade). These amended levels equate to storage percentages of approximately 80% for Somerset Dam and 90% for Wivenhoe Dam. The amended full supply levels will remain in place until current dam improvement works at Somerset Dam are completed. Seqwater will commence flood releases from Wivenhoe and Somerset dams if storage levels exceed the amended full supply levels as a result of rainfall in the dam catchments.
