FINANCIAL support is being offered to landholders to help with their irrigation costs.

In response to the recent dry weather and cost-of-living increases, Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) is providing its customers with a range of financial assistance options, including payment extensions and flexible payment plans.

Irrigators are being encouraged to use the financial support options available to them.

GMW business and finance general manager Michael Gomez encouraged irrigators to use the assistance available and said it was always better for customers to use these support options sooner rather than later.

“The past 12 months have been very dry, which has a big impact on a lot of our customers,” Mr Gomez said.

“We have several different financial support options available to people and are eager to work with anyone who is struggling to find the option that is best for them.”

Reminder notices were sent in February to customers who were yet to pay their fixed charge accounts which were due in December 2024.

Mr Gomez urged customers who were still struggling to pay these bills to contact GMW.

“We have the support options available to help people, but we need them to reach out to us so that we can provide that support,” he said.
