with you charles,

whilst ever folk hold out for some cash reward things will never
change. we live in rural qld no mention of reimbursing rural folk, bit
one sided hey? but then if we don't do it then we don't got no water
hey? that simple.

with all these city folks panicking because they can't water the lawn
or wash the rust bucket, how many times do they flush waste water
(urine) down the toilet with perfectly good drinking water??

how many have given up showers so they can share the same bath water?
how many use their grey water for lawns (wastefull folley) and/or
gardens? how many use good looking bath water to wash a few clothes?

might be get real time or at least bite the bullet time?

Every time a storm goes over here, I think about how I'd love to have
another 6 or so 5000 gallon poly rainwater tanks...sigh. And no-one looks at
subsidising any of it for me!

Whenever I travel to the smoke, I am buying bottled water like there's no
tomorrow because the tap water tastes like crap. If I lived in suburbia,
and the council was going to give me a rebate, I'd jump at the chance to
have decent drinking water! A 2-stage decent water filter on the outlet, a
bit of regular maintenance in keeping your roof clean, a first-flush bypass
to reduce contaminents, and you have damn fine water!

Just my thoughts, but there are a lot of other things I would forego to have
rainwater on tap...
