Mount Bold Reservoir Spills After Rain | Adelaide News
Description
Adelaide’s water woes are over — Mount Bold Reservoir is nearly full at 95% thanks to record rainfall, forcing SA Water to open spillway gates for the first time in four years. After rising from 69% over the weekend, the reservoir soaked up 13 billion litres, with four of eight gates now releasing controlled flows down the Onkaparinga River. This strategic release protects infrastructure while ensuring downstream stability — and some water’s even being diverted to Happy Valley for backup supply. Since winter began, Adelaide’s storages have gained 85 billion litres, lifting overall levels to 79% — up from 54% last year. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a temporary waterfall at Mount Bold is now visible from a viewing platform.
