Goulburn - Sooley Dam overflows ...

How quickly things can change.

Excerpt from ABC News:

From dry to wet in Goulburn

27 June 2007

There has been flooding and snow in the Goulburn district of New South Wales.

Police are assessing more than 12 local roads which were closed yesterday when creeks rose.

A duty officer with the Goulburn State Emergency Service, Lee Brown, says crews are also checking road conditions after snow early this morning.


"The unit at Captain's Flat said very heavy falls of snow in their area and across to Bungendore and apparently between them and the ACT," he said.

Goulburn's Sooley Dam is now full and has flowed over the top of the new wall, providing some breathing space for the city's critical water shortage.

Goulburn Mayor Paul Stephenson says the recent rainfall has had a big impact on the city's water supply.
...

"Sooley Dam, which is the smaller of our two dams, I think it overflowed over the top of the new wall, so that gives us a tremendous amount of breathing space, but we don't [know] about the inflows into Pejar at this stage," he said.

See - Goulburn - one dam full.

Maybe the Mayor will pull the plug on it again ...

Did not this bloke stand and lose in the last State election in NSW? - how come he is still there as mayor or do you not have to resign your Councillor position in NSW to contest an election as did Shelton in Toowoomba.

More water - ideal to mix the recycled sewage in - hmm

The requirement to resign to contest state elections is a Beattie inspired program.
