SOUTH AUSTRALIA – RIVER MURRAY – RAISED POOL LEVELS

Mariners are advised that the pool level of the River Murray will be raised today at Lock 2 (downstream of Waikerie) and Lock 6 (near Murtho, upstream of Renmark).  Lock 2 will be raised to a maximum of 0.52m above normal pool level up to 6.62m AHD and Lock 6 to a maximum of 0.42m above normal pool level up to 19.67m AHD.

The water levels will stay at the planned maximum heights for approximately 30 days after which they will slowly return to normal pool level.  Both Locks 2 and 6 should return to normal level by the end of November 2019.

Mariners are advised to navigate with caution in the area as some existing snags may become submerged.  Mariners may also need to adjust moorings.
