[VIC] Stage 4 water restrictions

[minux]

I actually got into **** for washing my car

Apparently it is illegal to use our final rinse washing machine water to wash my car. I connect the 20 litre bucket into my gerni hose(have a hose fitting in the bucket.

Stage 4 is a joke, if the govt built decent water carriageways we would have alot more water.

We've hooked up a similar system, although it works like this


The way our house is, you can fully stand under the "ground" floor and it is a kind of basement area come garage come entertainment area come study. Anyway, because it was built as a workshop the builder (prev owner) never bothered to box in the pipes, so my old man (being an ex plumber/gas fitter) has put a kind of "gateway" on the shower drainage pipes, when this is turned, it allows the water to flow into a normal 20Lish bin. From there, it is pumped up through a hole in the wall to outside, where it is deposited into a garden wheely bin (one of the old school ones, not these pissy little red lidded ones) which has two hose outputs on the bottom, and from there, the shower water from both upstairs showers is 100% recycled and used on our garden.

I can get pics if anybody cares




Please excuse the rambling...as of 5 minutes ago i have been awake for 24 hours and still have a day of work ahead of me, subsequently, using a waterless washing product to wash cars:wax:

The issue is with the government wasting obscene amounts of money on a temporary swimming pool when there is a perfectly good aquatic centre already here. Better read the posts before replying otherwise you might end up looking like a tool. Nobody whinging about restrictions, only the government's blatant wastage when most of the community is doing the right thing.
