Extra Water for 2003-2004

31 July 2003

Murrumbidgee Irrigation have almost finalised negotiations for additional water to be made available this irrigation season.

The offer, to borrow this year for payback over the following two years, is available to all irrigators in the Murrumbidgee Valley.

The rice industry is negotiating on behalf of rice growers, and will be in contact with their growers soon.

For crops other than rice, interested irrigators will need to take up an option before 8 August.

Coleambally Irrigation shareholders should contact their office.

Any other irrigator wanting details of the offer, or to give an expression of interest, contact Murrumbidgee Irrigation as soon as possible, and certainly before 8 August.
