Moree Plains company found guilty of knowingly taking water with faulty metering equipment for crops such as cotton
In their investigation, Stockley said an expert used crop growth information and satellite imagery to estimate how much water would have been needed to grow the crops during that time.
“When you compare that to the meter reading, that’s 1.8 times more than what was recorded on the meter,” Stockley said. For constructing and using a dam without approval, the company was fined $53,750. Henry Payson Pty Ltd will pay NRAR’s legal costs, which have yet to be determined, and a further $2,374 to cover the cost of NRAR’s investigation.
