Date Time NRAR takes action as 45% of affected pumps not fitted with accurate meters The state’s independent water regulator has found that while most pumps 500mm and above are now fully compliant, or on the pathway to compliance, with new metering regulations, there are still pumps not fitted with accurate meters. A deadline of 1 December 2020 applied to all pumps 500mm and above, requiring they have accurate meters installed which are validated by a certified professional and can transmit water take to a central database. Grant Barnes, Chief Regulatory Officer at the Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) said he has seen an improvement in compliance rates over the past three months.
