At times of high demand


The below DO’s and DONT’S will help to minimise interruption to your water orders.


DO
✅ Expect a maximum 4 day wait 
for all new orders and increases.

✅ Place orders as early as possible and consider filling on-farm storage to supplement if flows are restricted. Expect your flow will be determined by the flow shares on your landholding.

✅ Place an unsatisfied order if you are not happy with the future date the water ordering system offers you.

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.
❌ Hesitate in contacting us 
if you need help.


How do I lodge an unsatisfied order?


You will receive the below message when you enter your order – select Reject to lodge an unsatisfied order.

You will then receive the below message - select Continue


This will place your order as an unsatisfied request and put you in the queue to receive your order as soon as capacity is available, or at a restricted flow in 4 days. More details are in our Ordering Guide.


Orders and daylight-saving end on 2 April


Daylight saving ends Sunday, 2 April 2023. For customers placing water orders ending

after this date, the ordering system will automatically reduce the order by an hour to normal finish time to enable lodgement.


Staff will manually adjust all orders ending after 2 April to the correct finish time for the operating area. Please contact us if you require assistance.
