Does anyone really know how much the pipeline to Cressbrook cost? Its capacity?
While Wivenhoe is above capacity the pipe will pump up to 60 megalitres a day, double what is currently being pumped.
Mayor Peter Taylor hailed the decision as a major win for Toowoomba and the $187 million Wivenhoe pipeline.
Since opening on January 28, the Wivenhoe Pipeline has delivered more than 4000 megalitres to Cressbrook Dam at an average of 47 megalitres a day.
7th January 2011 UPDATE: Perseverance Dam flowed over the spillway at 2.05pm today for the first time in almost 10 years.Significant rainfall in the area both yesterday and today pushed the level from 97 per cent this morning to overflowing early in the afternoon.Perseverance Dam last spilled on February 21, 2001.This water flows down Perseverance Creek directly into Lake Cressbrook which is currently at around 56% capacity.Spillage from Perseverance Dam into Lake Cressbrook will accelerate the filling of Lake Cressbrook and it is anticipated that all storage dams will reach near full capacity in the near future.Currently, the combined storage level of Toowoomba’s three dams is sitting at around 70%.The last time dams were at this level was July 18, 2002. Cooby Dam is currently around 71% capacity.The last time the combined dam level reached 100% was on March 21, 1999, with Cooby Dam spilling on February 5 and Cressbrook Dam on March 21 that year.Dam levels are expected to continue to rise due to runoff and forecast showery weather over the weekend.
