State Water Media Release - Water Restrictions on Wakool, Merran & Colligen-Niemur Systems

Last modified: October 24, 2008 - 12:36 AM

The NSW Department of Water and Energy on Tuesday 21 October 2008 reminded all water users on the Wakool, Merran and Colligen-Niemur systems that water in these tributaries can only be taken for stock and domestic purposes.

Deputy Director-General, David Harriss said that these systems are currently subject to a 323 Order under the Water Management Act 2000, meaning that water can only be used for stock and domestic purposes.

"This means that the recently announced general security allocation of 2% can not be taken for irrigation purposes in these systems at this time", he said.

A full copy of the media release is available by clicking on the link below to the downloadable document.

Further information can be obtained by contacting State Water's Deniliquin Office on 03 58983900.
