Lower Murray Water

Flow Rate

We aim to supply water at an adequate flow rate...
Under normal operating conditions customers supplied from a water main owned by Lower Murray Water can expect supply at an adequate flow rate.

We aim to supply water at or above the following flow rates:

Diameter of the meter (mm)	20	25	32	40	50
Minimum Flow Rate (Litres/Minute)*	20	35	60	90	160

*As measured by Lower Murray Water or a Licensed Plumber, on the downstream side of the outlet of the water meter.

These flow rates may not be achieved in the following situations:

	If there is a planned or an unplanned interruption to your water supply.
	If there is a water shortage due to:
	a drought which causes restriction of the amount of water available to the Authority in its Bulk Entitlement,
	peak summer demand,
	any other unavoidable cause.
	When the section of the property service pipe which is your responsibility to maintain is damaged or in poor condition. Contact us at any Office if you would like to know which sections of your service pipes you are responsible for maintaining.
	If you have agreed to accept supply at a lesser flow rate.
	If you are supplied by a private main.
	If Lower Murray Water has restricted your supply via the installation of a restrictive meter,
	Where conditions exist which are beyond the control of Lower Murray Water.
