Cressbrook and Perseverance Dams closed to water-based activities
Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) has closed Cressbrook and Perseverance Dams for water-based activities until further notice.
TRC Mayor Paul Antonio said Council officers had made the decision to stop water-based activities at the two dam sites as required under recreational guidelines.
“This is a precautionary closure to ensure visitors do not suffer any health concerns due to toxins present in Cressbrook Dam and elevated levels of E.coli in Perseverance Dam,” Mayor Antonio said.
“Council will conduct its regular testing regime to determine when the dams can re-open.
“We appreciate the timing of these closures aren’t ideal and while we would have preferred to have the facilities open for families over the Christmas period, we simply can’t take any health risks by allowing water-based activities at this time.
