There are conditions made by the government as to when and at what condition Orange’s water storage is before we are allowed to pump water from these water sources.

Many critics have stated that Orange would not be able to pump water from these places when needed, as there would not be enough water flow to allow Orange to pump water from these sources.

Orange dams should be 'topped up' to full during times of plenty of rain, and not when there is no rain.

Was the millions spent on these projects worth the cost?

The stormwater harvesting scheme was hugely expensive, but let’s face it: whilst it's a great idea, after a couple of days of ratepayers flushing their toilets, it's gone.

I'm hoping the Central Western Daily will investigate and inform the ratepayers about our water.
