Supplementary notice SUPPLEMENTARY WATER ACCESS FOR MURRUMBIDGEE 23 February 2021 Department of Planning, Industry & Environment - Water has approved extension of a short period of access to supplementary water in the Murrumbidgee River. A small volume of surplus flow has resulted from rainfall over some parts of tributary catchments and also the rejection of water ordered for diversion. The system is being closely monitored and access will be adjusted in response to system flows. It should be noted that regulated river (general security) access licence holders can NOT take water during this period of supplementary flows as uncontrolled flow due to their high water allocation. Licence holders are reminded that all diversions count towards the annual usage limit of 100% of entitlement (excludes trades into accounts). Customers wishing to access supplementary water must provide a START meter reading and place a complying water order using one of the following options: • Accessing WWW.WaterNSW.com.au and registering or logging on to your iWAS account. • Faxing your order to 1300 871 447 • Emailing your order to [email protected] • Telephoning your order to 1300 662 077 During business hours Water order forms are available from the Water NSW web site. Customers are reminded that with the conclusion of supplementary access an END meter reading must be provided, and as regulated flow conditions would resume water orders must be placed in accordance with their licence conditions. WaterNSW will continue to monitor the situation closely and further advice will be issued on or before Tuesday, 2 March 2021. For further information contact the Operations Officer, WaterNSW Southern Valleys on 1300 662 077 during business hours. (See page 2 for details of supplementary availability).
