Darwin River Dam restricted areas

16 May 2011

Visitors are advised that controlled fires will be conducted around the Darwin River Dam area today, Tuesday 17th May.

Darwin River Dam is the main potable water supply source for Darwin and surrounding areas. Power and Water has a closed catchment and reservoir policy for Darwin River Dam to protect this drinking water supply. This means the public may only access the sign posted public and picnic areas. Recreational access to the catchment area and the dam is not allowed; this includes swimming and any other water activities.

Given the importance of protecting our drinking water supply, significant penalties apply for anyone caught trespassing within the Darwin River Dam catchment area.

Crocodiles are also known to inhabit the area.

If you see anyone accessing the restricted areas, please notify NT Police on 131 444.
