    Silent, I don't think it will be too long before the Gov will increase subsidies on tanks. I'd give it 2 years.

    I don't think we qualify. Not on town water. Would be glad to hear I'm wrong though...

    Water Levels Dropping

    WELL STRIKE ME DOWN - WHAT A SURPRISE.


    December 08, 2006 12:00am - MELBOURNE'S water storages have dropped by 1.6 per cent this week, leaving the city's reservoirs at 40.9 per cent capacity. Water reserves are 19 percentage points lower than they were a year ago, Melbourne Water said. No rain was recorded in the catchments this week while total water use was slightly higher than for the same time last year.

    So 40.9% divided by 1.6% = 25 weeks - well at least I will know if the Aussies had beaten "The Poms" by then - so I can die happy of thirst.

    My folks claimed the rebate for a tank in Canberra and a year later they recieved a bill for water catchment!!!!

    Dad then sent them a bill for upkeep of said catchment area. It never made it to court but he does not get any bills for water catchment now.

    Just keep this in mind.
