3AM SATURDAY UPDATE

Alexandra’s Peter Rice advises that the U T Creek is overflowing considerably into the Jack Shiel Gardens.

“If it keeps rising another 250- 300mm it will spill into Grant St near the main bridge,” Peter says.

“The Shire will (be) considering (in the next few hours) whether to close the foot bridges across UT Creek due to flooding and safety issues and also other areas such as Jack Shiel Gardens which is substantially inundated.

“There has been 110mm of rain so far at the Eildon Fire Tower. This area is the headwaters of the UT Creek so continued flooding is likely,” Mr Rice said.
