The season in the Macalister Irrigation District starts on Friday, 15 August and we’re looking forward to another productive one here and in our irrigation districts in Werribee and Bacchus Marsh.

The move towards a fully automated system for the Werribee Irrigation District is one step closer, thanks to the installation of two flow meters during the winter shutdown period.

Southern Rural Water has kicked off works to replace a key tunnel that will improve water reliability for the Macalister Irrigation District.

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. 

Winter was a productive time in the Macalister Irrigation District, and we delivered several important maintenance projects.

We’re fixing and improving our network across our region, including starting work on the final stage of the multimillion-dollar infrastructure modernisation project in Werribee’s Irrigation District and delivering several projects in the Macalister Irrigation District.
