The Gillard Government will provide $22 million in funding to the NSW Government for a pilot water metering project in the upper Murray.
The funding will ensure that up to 1,200 water licence holders in the upper Murray will receive a new or upgraded water meter as part of the pilot project, saving more than 10 billion litres of water a year in the Murray-Darling Basin.
Federal Government Water Minister, Tony Burke and the NSW Minister for Water, Phillip Costa today announced the funding which will improve the management of New South Wales’ water resources and deliver a more secure future for all water users in the state.
