There's a possibility the flood levee will break due to stormwater infrastructure failingThe State Emergency Service said residents adjacent to the Mary Ann Reserve needed to evacuate immediately.
The SES said there's is a high chance the flood levee will break due to stormwater infrastructure failing and water pooling on the wrong side of the levee.The SES volunteers will work to pump water out but urge residents to leave now."As far as I'm aware there was a cautionary evacuation and it'll be reassessed this morning," Ms Bailey said."I'm not an engineer, obviously there's a concern from me, I want to keep my town safe.
It comes as a flood emergency warning remains in place for Cowirra, across the river from Mannum, with people urged to evacuate yesterday morning. The SES said flooding was expected to cause isolation to properties within 24 hours due to the deterioration and flooding of East Front Road and Hunter Road at Cowirra.– would close until further notice from this afternoon due to the closure of the Burdett and Hunter roads junction at Mannum.
