00:00 We're also keeping a close eye on Nepean Dam. Nepean Dam on the Illawarra Escarpment is

00:05 currently sitting at 81% capacity. We require about 130 millimetres of rain to fill Nepean Dam

00:12 and we're currently expecting, based on the latest forecast, around about 140 millimetres

00:18 for the Nepean catchment. That is likely to put Nepean Dam also into a very small

00:22 spill sometime Monday morning. The supply catchments are wet. We do urge the community,

00:30 as I said, to remain vigilant and monitor the alerts from the Bureau of Meteorology

00:34 and heed the advice of the SES over the weekend.
