level 5 water restrictions come in next tuesday (10-4-07), so monday will be the last day you can wash you car at home from mains water.

I think this'll be the catalyst for me to finally get a tank now. It's a lot more relaxing washing the acr on the grass at home than going to a Carlovers every couple weeks.

You still have to use buckets tho...

But everyone, the water restrictions are in for a very serious reason. Without trying to start the debate again... Yes govt to some degree is to blame, but they simply can not make the dams full over night. So we all have to suck it in, and try and adbide by the restrictions. Otherwise we wont have any water to DRINK. I personally am quite partial to the odd glass of water. I find it keeps me alive.

Anyway, I went down to carlovers at about 8pm on Saturday nite, washed my car. Cost me $4. $1 to to the first rinse, $1 to fill up my bucket. Then $2 to rinse it off all the suds, which next time I should be able to cut down to $1. Its really not that much of a hassel.

i heard the brisbane city council has been driving round in dog catcher cars booking ppl for using there water. undercover water police lol

yeah they do, but its not "undercover". They have big stickers on the side that say "Brisbane water patrol". There's one that lives 100m down the road frmo us.

what i want to know is under the new water restrictions, you are apparently allowed to water your garden with a bucket 2 times per week (they're looking to extend this to 3 times per week apparently) - what if i don't water my garden? am i then allowed to use that water to wash my car?

They're also saying that they're now going to be monitoring houses, and anyone that uses more than 800L per week? (or day, i can't remember which.. but i think it was week) have to fill out forms to say why they're using so much water... if you don't fill out the forms they're saying they will cut off the water supply to your house....

*old XXXX ad background music* i can feel a lawsuit, coming on!

that is in breach of the basic human rights... the UN would have a field day with this shit!

... Yes govt to some degree is to blame,

Make that 100% to blame (former Goss government that is) - apparently Kevin Rudd (former advisor to Wayne Goss) advised him against building the Wolfdene dam even after they were told by the Dept of Water Resources they had insufficient dams........now the idiot wants to be PM!??

The voting public at the time is to blame as well! Goss got in on the promise he wouldn't build that dam
