Talking Water - Tuesday 17 January, 2023

High demand, orders and restrictions

Order demand is expected to remain high, and restrictions hotspots include:

  • Mulwala 30 Tuppal,
  • Northern d/s of the Niemur Syphon, and
  • Southern 6.
    To help minimise chances of interruptions:

DO

✅ Expect all new orders and order increases to be subject to a maximum 4 day wait.
✅ Place orders as early as possible 
and consider filling on-farm storage to supplement if flows are restricted.
✅ Expect 
that your flow will be determined by the flow shares on your landholding. 

✅ Place a unsatisfied order if you are not happy with the future date the water ordering system offers you – how to hear. 

✅ Understand that by placing your unsatisfied order you will be in the queue for a 4-day start, at a restricted flow rate, or earlier if capacity becomes available.


DON'T

❌ Delay in updating any order changes for extensions or increases.


Our Restrictions and Flow shares fact sheet provides more details. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about restrictions or flow shares.
