With warmer and drier conditions forecast for parts of southern and eastern Australia, planning ahead and using water efficiently will be important as irrigation demand increases through spring and summer.
We’ve been busy in recent months completing a range of program improvements across the Macalister, Werribee and Bacchus Marsh Irrigation Districts.
The Bureau of Meteorology’s long-range forecast there is no clear signal for either wetter or drier conditions across Victoria, meaning there are roughly equal changes of above or below average rainfall.
May heralds the start of our winter works program across our irrigation districts. In this window, we carry out the upgrades and maintenance work that keeps water flowing smoothly through and during the irrigation season.
Customer engagement has started on the Werribee System Reconfiguration Project, with the first meeting of a customer reference group held in Werribee this week.
