In partnership with customers, GMW began the first irrigation network reconfiguration program to help save water and create efficiencies.
The program aimed to rationalise underutilised infrastructure.
By 2008, GMW had decommissioned more than 80km of channel, over 400 on-farm meter outlets, and various other regulators, culverts, and bridges.
Reconfiguration helped start the modernisation of GMW’s delivery network - during this early program one electric meter outlet was installed for every 3.7 decommissioned Dethridge meters.
