Tanks are full
So the tanks are full, all of yesterday (and overnite) just a constant drizzle. So this backs up the 20 mm that we received on Thursday. It is good being on tank water as you can use the water how you like eg I can water the garden every day if I want.
What I find funny about water restrictions is that while they say people cannot water their garden each day, you can still waste water with a dishwasher or long showers, but water a vege/fruit producing garden everyday from town water and you’d be in trouble, something not right there. Also the Yass town water does taste fairly average, very calcium rich don’t recommend it
Anyway the reason for the post is that last nite my daughter went outside on on the decking and there she found a small frog, I ran to get the camera but no battery power. A frog, we could not believe it

I totally agree with you on the way water restrictions are set up! I think there are much better ways of doing things, for example setting the price for water in a way that would encourage people to think carefully about how they use this precious resource. I could imagine a system whereby a certain amount of water per person per household is priced at a reasonable level, with a steep price increase for water usage beyond that. That way people would be free to choose how they want to use their water, whether they want to waste it under the shower or whether they may want to grow their own food.

Another way would be to give you a quota and you pay for that, if you need more than your quota you pay a lot more (and hopefully that will encourage people to get tanks). It is ridiculous that I see advertising of dishwashers saying they use 50 litres per wash. We don’t have a dishwasher and I refuse to get one and probably use less than 10 litres a wash.
