The combined delivery system consists of approximately 159 kilometres of earth lined channels and is controlled by approximately 120 flow regulators.

Water is delivered through the supply channels by manual operation of the channel control and check-structures to reach supply points, where water enters individual farm lots.

Customers order water the day before it is required and supply points are scheduled to receive water at times that facilitate ease of operation and distribution efficiency. Water Distribution Officers manually adjust the control and check structures and attempt to provide water at the required supply points within 4 hours of customer's request. Water is diverted from supply channels via detheridge wheels and other diversion/measuring devices at the supply points.

The water tariffs for 2008/2009 are:

Asset Levy $52.22
Fixed Levy $56.13
Volumetric $2.72

This equates to $155 per irrigated hectare.

Excess water can also occur in channels during the dry season. Reasons for this include unscheduled shut-offs, channel breaks and leakage through check structures.

During 2004/2005 the major distribution control structures were automated. This is a key aspect of the Water Use Improvement Plan and will involve the automation of most control structures, the installation of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA) to provide optimal delivery, real time data and an associated upgrade of water ordering and scheduling software. During 2007/2008 all spur channel relief structures were automated to allow a complete water balance of the system By measuring all inflows/outflows, Significant improvements in distribution efficiencies are expected.
