WATER ALLOCATION INCREASE

Murrumbidgee Irrigation announced today that the general security allocation for Murrumbidgee Irrigation shareholders has increased to 37%. Those shareholders that need it will have access to 35% before the end of February, with the remaining 2% available after February.

“This increase will assist irrigators with summer crop planning.

Murrumbidgee Irrigation is also reviewing the impact of its management of supplementary water flows this season and expects to be able to make a further announcement late next week.

Irrigators should continue 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.
