i know... but i can't do NOTHING just because business is water expensive.
that will change eventually, i hope...


The govt is currently looking at it. But it's annoying how that that
individuals are made to sacrifice, because they're a soft target, while
the authorities close a blind eye to the big boys. Also make me angry
when CWW takes hours to repair a broken main spewing litres of water a
second.

it's not always convenient to do the washing machine/grey water thing, esp
at night, but i have it draining into a big rubbish bin, from which i syphon
it when it suits me... and i'm sick of tripping over buckets in the shower
but when those buckets provide all the water i need for several shrubs, it
sort of seems worthwhile...


I fitted a diverter just this weekend and 20 metre 50mm drainage pipe.
Every bit helps. Still I expect to have a dead lawn before too long,
unless we get rain soon, and then some.

i dunno, perhaps it just makes me feel better, and that can't be a bad thing

My lawn is pretty green too - i use ALL my grey water from washing
machine (front loader), shower (yes, savers) and rinse water from the
kitchen sink on the grass and plants etc. Adds up to quite a lot, and
everything's thriving, tho i did change my washing powder to phosphate
free 'green care' liquid - aus made, and works great.

/pat on the back.

Meanwhile industry uses how many thousands/millions of litres daily?
