Thanks for this info!
I had been wondering about exact figures.
I have heard rumors about in the future the government charging people water that comes out of tanks that have been issued with a rebate?
Do you know anything about this?

Banjo, I haven’t heard of this - I reckon there’s be an uproar if they tried to charge for this as specially with the new emissions trading scheme which has been proposed recently.
