We need to schedule the replacement of the Agri meter on Wednesday 17 June. As a result, water delivery will be affected in the area bounded by Ral Ral Avenue, Brewarrina Street, Goolwa Street, and Ral Ral Creek, as shown on the attached map.

To undertake this work, we will also need to isolate sections of our pipeline network in this area. The Trust anticipates that water supply will need to be isolated for approximately 24 hours.

Domestic customers are advised to switch to their settling tanks for the duration of the maintenance and ensure adequate water is available prior to the isolation commencing.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these essential works are carried out.

Due to a staff meeting the Trust Office will be closed between 9-10am on Tuesday 9 June

Our team works across multiple locations, roles and operating hours in Renmark. It is important that our team comes together once a month to meet and share updates across our respective work areas.

To allow for this, the Main Office will open at 10am on the Tuesday following the Trust’s monthly Board meeting. This will usually be the final Tuesday of the month, although this may vary.

These meetings help us stay connected, aligned and better placed to support our customers. We thank you for your understanding.

On 15 May 2026, the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) announced that the minimum projected Class 3 (High Security) for the 2026-27 water year is 62 percent.

As the projected minimum allocation announced on 15 April 2026 was greater than 50%, the carryover of unused allocations from 2025-26 will not be available in the 2026-27 water year.

The actual opening allocation for the 2026-27 water year will be provided on Friday, 15 June 2026. The volume of water available for allocation will be gazetted and allocations issued for use from 1 July 2026.

From 1 July 2026, updated water allocation information will be provided every two weeks while water allocations are less than 100%.

The annual shutdown enables planned preventative maintenance and other works to be completed which cannot be carried out while normal pumping is in progress.

Domestic and industrial water users should maintain storage capable of holding up to 7 days supply at all times.

RIT supports the Renmark ANZAC Day Dawn Service which will be held at 6:00am on Saturday 25 April at the Renmark Cross of Sacrifice.

We invite the community to come together in remembrance of all those who have served and sacrificed for our nation.

In early March the RIT Operations team carried out a crane lift to replace the PS Industry’s generator. The team — Dave Wilson (crane operator), Mitch Jones (dogman), and Reece Curtis (observer) – successfully lifted and manoeuvred the generator safely into the bottom deck of the paddle steamer.

Well done to the team on another safe and well-organised lift. The super team of volunteers at the PS Industry were really thankful for our assistance.
