SA River Murray

No one person or organisation will stop the flow, hence your safety is of utmost importance Resist the urge to drive through flood water, remember 300mm flood water is when your car will float and will be pushed by currents downstream! Last job before you evacuate, place toilet lid down, towel in toilet bowl before you leave, will save you an added mess for clean up Services will be impacted and recovery will take time. Please be patient.

Current flood predictions, suggest the start of peak flows/high river levels within the Alexandrina Council area will occur in late December and expect to remain high until February 2023.

Increased volumes of water are flowing down the River Murray and are causing the river to be at flood level. Whilst flooding is only expected to be in low-lying areas of the flood plain, the high flow in the main river channel will pose a risk to public safety.

Due to the unavoidable uncertainty in the flow forecast, the community is encouraged to continue to plan and prepare for an even higher flow.
