About the program
Helping landholders simplify water management
The Telemetry Uplift Program is an Australian Government funded, and NSW Government managed initiative. If you have a water access licence, under this program you can get a free smart water monitoring device to help you comply with your metering obligations. Each device automatically records and sends water use data directly to WaterNSW.
The program helps save time, improve accuracy, and make it easier for landholders to manage their water use and stay compliant.
