WELLINGTON Dam is overflowing for the first time since 2009.
Water Corporation South West regional manager Scott Moorhead said water began to trickle over the wall yesterday morning.
"The rainfall we got over the past week has increased the levels in Wellington Dam by 13 per cent, causing it to overflow."
Wellington Dam had also overflowed in 2008 and 2005.
The dam could not have overflowed at a better time, with school holidays starting this weekend meaning Collie should expect an influx of tourists in coming weeks.
