WATER ALLOCATION INCREASE

Murrumbidgee Irrigation announced today that the general security allocation for Murrumbidgee Irrigation shareholders has increased to 26%. Those shareholders that need it will have access to the full 26% before the end of February.

“This increase will assist irrigators with crop planning. I urge all our irrigators to carefully balance their water requirements for the coming season to ensure crops can be finished when the hot weather arrives,” said John Chant, Chief Executive of Murrumbidgee Irrigation.
