Water restrictions :(

[zybch]

Just got a notice from the shire council informing me we're now on stage 3 water restrictions.
I can't fill up my pool unless I only use a bucket, an't use my electronicaly controlled watering system, and ppl have to wash cars with a bucket, no hose. :(

They also suggest I wash my car over some plants so the water isn't wasted.
I have a question though, how am I supposed to get a car into my attic?

[werz]

and we thought you made your money from fixing computers.

[zybch]

Some of it...

[j.m@talk]

Question is ........ Why would ya pool be empty ?

[zybch]

Never said it was empty, just a bit lower than I'd like from evaporation and stuff.
I'll probably fill it one night so I'm not caught and charged with "illegal use of a hosepipe".

[j.m@talk]

Friggin' troo ............. Either that or get the perrier truck to drop by :eek:

[leprechaun_40]

Use the neighbors hose, that way it don't cost ya :eek:

[zybch]

Its not a matter of cost, the price/litre remains the same. Its the risk involved in using water in ways other than that madated by the stage 3 restrictions.

[j.m@talk]

Yas got options here:

No Water
Annual Charge
Meter

Spose you could supply yas own from a tank or what ever

They used to put a hosepipe ban on during summer ........... But they didn't this year ....... Mind you even when the bans were on they still used to irrigate the parks etc :rolleyes:

Why dont they suck some outta the sea & treat it ?

Bummer,, use theirs anyhow, that way they get caught, not you :eek: ;) You can always deny any knowledge of why their hose is in yer pool :cool:

I'd say you should drink more beer to conserve water. Then you could visit the coulcilman's house and water his lawn with your beer after you're done with it ... :D

[zybch]

Could use the 'used' beer to fill my pool I guess.

[j.m@talk]

You could use Fosters ......... Thus negating any need to consume it 1st :t

[zybch]

Very, very true.

I prefer stout myself, with a little bit of lemonade.

[j.m@talk]

I prefer a splash of blackcurrant ......... Put in first tho ....... That way it turns the froth pink......... Not that I lie pink drinks ya understand :rolleyes:
