Our government are stupid regarding water always have been. We all used to have tanks on the sides of our houses in the 50's and 60's the cock heads made them illegal to have in residential areas so out they all came. Then we got drought for 7 years with the El Nino weather pattern so they said get tanks for your gardens etc, so back they came. Then they spent billions on a desalination plant here because the dams were at less than 30% for all those years. They finished building the plant and it hasnt stopped raining since and not one liter has been pumped from the place but it still needs upkeep and paying off, so now the water rates and state taxes are skyrocketing to pay for it.
In this country, you can be arrested for collecting rain water.
I couldnt believe this so had to google it. It's actually true?!?! In some places you cant harvest rainwater! How, why?!
I know , what law could they have possibly made up to enforce such a rort ?
