Subject: Re:

Ms Esther & Donna Allan The current EAP status is F4 the water level atLenthalls Dam is currently at RL 27.35 and rising. There are four crest gates

that have lowered and operated as designed and they are gates 1, 2, 3, and 4.

I have contacted the FCRC Disaster Management Coordinator and his advice was

that an evacuation at night under the current weather conditions would be too

dangerous. Could you please provide contact numbers for those people currently

residing at the property to enable the DMC to contact them.

Tony Marshall, Treatment Manager, WBWC
