Operational Update
Daylight Savings and Water Orders
Daylight savings begins this Sunday 5 October 2025.
If you are placing an order to end after this date, the water ordering system will automatically increase the order by an hour to the normal finish time to enable lodgement.
Our team will manually adjust all operating orders ending after 5 October to the correct operating time for the channel system.

Community In Focus
We're pleased to bring you the latest in our Community in Focus series featuring Deniliquin High School's Harmony Circle Project, which MIL has funded through our 2025 sponsorship program.
The Harmony Circle is a dedicated gathering space which aims to foster a strong sense of belonging, promote cultural safety, and enhance the overall wellbeing of Deni High students, and is being created under the leadership of the school’s Year 11/12 Work Studies class.

Murray Irrigation's sponsorship activities are made possible through the support of our customers.
Layout changes to Q1 invoices
Several months ago, the Board requested management to separate Government pass-through charges out from MIL charges on quarterly billing invoices to increase transparency and clearly articulate the breakdown of charges.
We are pleased to advise that this new invoice layout will be rolled out to customers effective Q1 billing 2025/26.
If customers have any questions relating to this change, please contact the Customer Experience Team on 1300 138 265.
