They will legislate and announce a "Bulk Water Storage Tank Fee"

will they indeed?

i wonder why it is then that nobody would be able to collate how many
litres people are storing in dams, etc; and nobody wants to,

Been there, done that. Doing consultancy work for proposed licencing of
private dams, for safety reasons. It's a hell of a lot of work. The
project was dropped real quick.

[..] a few poxy town water tanks wouldn't be worth the bother, compared
to charging for people's stored dam water.

So what's the purpose of charging for what is being contained? To
encourage the dam owner to drain the thing ?
