The latest seasonal allocations for July 2022 have been announced by the Storage Manager. This is the first allocation announcement of the 2022-23 year.

Sufficient water is held in storage to secure all headworks system operating water requirements for the 2022-23 season. However, further inflow is required before any allocation can be made to entitlements. Operating water represents the volume which is projected to be lost through the normal operation of  the headworks system. Evaporation from reservoirs represents the majority of system operating water requirements.

While no allocation has been possible to any entitlement at the time of the July 2022 water resource assessment, bulk entitlement holders collectively have access to approximately 109,000 megalitres of unused water allocation carried forward from 2021-22 year.
