River levels are receding slowly along the Warburton river at Poothapootha and the lower Cooper Creek around Innamincka.

Although floodwaters still remain in the area, the risks posed by flood waters has reduced.

Many roads and access tracks may still be impacted by flooding and flood damage, particularly at river and creek crossings and may continue over the coming weeks.

Check road conditions before travelling.


What you should do:
* If your property has been flooded do not turn your electricity back on until it has been checked by a qualified electrician.
* Be aware that, if you rely on rainwater or similar source, your household water supply may not be safe.
* For SES assistance phone 132 500. If the matter is life-threatening call 000 (triple zero).



Impacts in your area:
* Mud, tree branches and other debris may still be on roads and road surface and verges may have been damaged.
* Do not walk, ride or drive through floodwater.
* Do not let children play in or near floodwater or drains.
