An electrical fault caused the weir to open and empty the Torrens !

Woohoo !

A nice cesspit of sludge and rubbish has been left in the city ! They've found a car, bikes and tonnes
of rubbish !

Probably won't get water in it until it rains next i.e next millennium.

The wetlands behind my joint (Lockleys) looks great this morning ! Needed a top up !

Isn't that a known gay haunt ?

Yeah, saw that this morning on my way to work, looks weird! Poor Popeye!

Very bad look for the festivals coming up! best time of the year in Adelaide, many interstate / OS visitors and an ugly city outlook.

Bad timing. fill it up! somehow I dint think the lower lakes towns would be too happy if that happens! especially goolwa residents!

This from the AdelaideNow website, I am pressuming taken today??

heart break

A pic I got via email

Poor Popeye

I bet ya alls that they will find water to refill it just wait and see.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor gondola man, his bread and butter day on Saturday and no wasser! Like Jabber said at least the rest of river down stream has finally got a drink, I wonder if the SAB whale went for another swim down stream!!!!

i thought the main reason for emptying the torrens cos they found blue algae in it

A chance to give it a really good clean up.
Then if we all drive up to Qld and back with a couple of 44 gallon drums in a trailer we can help both states out.

at least the horses & other aniMALs down stream had something to drink today & i agree with sjabc it finally loooks good down stream & into the sea

Agree with Psyber...it's a pretty sad sight but make the most of the opportunity to clean it up and take out all the crap to make it safer...it'll get filled again.

everyone should head to the shop and buy bottles of water to fill it up.....then go for a swim

Looking at those pics, the bottom of the lake isn't actually that deep.

They should dig it out more so it can hold more water, cement it,
chuck in some chlorine, and turn it into a swimming pool....

I reckon it was delibarate. They did it so they'd have an excuse to flush it out before the festival.

Bloody embarrassment
