  • Managing high water demand

    This season, a change of weather from wet early summer conditions to hotter, drier conditions, and high water availability among our customers has led to continued high water demand.

    There are longer wait times during dry conditions, with our system running at maximum capacity. We understand longer wait times can be frustrating for those impacted and can provide confidence we are running the system at maximum capacity.

    This factsheet provides information on water deliveries, what we’re doing to deliver the best outcomes, how we can work together to make things easier for everyone, and the details for MCCC members you can talk with to share ideas.

    We have a dedicated irrigation planning team who actively monitor our system 24 hours a day during the irrigation season.

    If you have trouble securing orders due to system capacity constraints, our planners will work with you to find availability within the channel as best they can.
