Brisbane tank rebate rules changed
The Brisbane Times reports that the residents in Brisbane will have to ensure their rainwater tank is plumbed into their laundry and toilet to be eligible to receive the $850 water tank rebate.
"Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said the change was needed because the rebate program would not conserve the city's water supplies unless people started using rainwater inside their homes."
Brisbane has been struggling to keep water consumption down to 140 L per person and although this change to the rebate rules may hurt the hip pocket, it will go a long way to helping Brisbane reach the consumption target.
