Drains and gutters are now flowing into the creek now that ground is fully saturated. Colour of water not alarming only associated with run off from paddocks. On Friday Newlyn Reservoir had an inflow of 100 megs per 24 hrs, here the creek is doing the same if not more. Local farmers say this year is the wettest start to winter for the past 30 yrs. Cyberscan DO not operational.
