safe. Thank you to all the first responders, emergency planners and volunteers, who continue to work in such unprecedented, dangerous circumstances.
The plan to secure the dam wall is now to:
▪️ Use 400 tonnes of aggregate to divert water from entering the reservoir and other watercourses.
▪️ Use water pumps to remove water from the reservoir.
▪️ Once the above measures reduce water to a safe level, begin work on the wall.
