Copperlode Dam was sitting at just above 82 per cent capacity on 3 November, above the level it was during the same period two years ago, but still below 2019 levels.

Significantly, rainfall in the Copperlode Dam catchment area for October was just 19mm, compared to 92mm for the same period last year.

This resulted in an increase of water production for October to 2473.5 megalitres at 79.79 megalitres per day, up from 2036 megalitres the previous month.
