Lower Murray Water would like to remind our rural irrigation and stock and domestic customers of our continued focus on water compliance and penalties for those who breach the Water Act 1989.

Rural customers must maintain a positive balance in their Allocation Account (ABA). It is an offence to use water that is not in your ABA, and penalties apply for this unauthorised take of water.

For more information, including how to check your ABA, please visit Water allocation and entitlements or if you would like to speak to someone by phone, please contact us.
