water tank rebates

No way I'd build on the ground round here :-) As it happens, stumps aren't common any more for new houses. Minimum floor level is 450mm over 50 year floodline. So if there is a 200 year rainstorm (as in 1998 & 2000) you might get wet. Levee banks in some places but the common alternative on flood-prone acreage is now a house pad. You might be stuck on an island for a bit, surrounded by afflux. I was thinking of measures like: Compulsory fitting of AAA shower heads, dual flush toilets in houses offered for sale (rather than just new ones). Pressure limiting valves. Water-efficient landscaping. Front-loader washing machines. And the rebates should be paid to the agencies responsible for the reticulated system, eg for investment in containments, upgrading to prevent losses from mains failures and leakage etc. |
