Water Bills Set to Skyrocket in Victoria
The Age reported yesterday that Victorian's water bills will increase by 51 to 64 percent over the next 4 years. The water price rises, approved by the Essential Service Commission, will help supliment water saving measures by the Victorian Government. The Government's water saving measures will include the Sugarloaf and North-South piplines, Eastern Treatment Plant and the Desalination Plant.
Could be a good time to install a water tank!
It is always a good time to install a water tank. I feel the cost of water is only one reason to save water. We just have to save it for our future use. For the people who want to save and yet do not want to go to the major extreme of rainwater harvesting and composting toilets you can do some simple modifications to you existing toilet to convert it into a
dual flush toilet. The conversion can be done for a fraction of the price of a new toilet but will save around 40% of the water. You can find them on goggle by typing in dual flush conversion kits. A popular dual flush retrofit kit is a selectaflush http://www.dualflushkit.com. I believe this is a pre-starter to water harvesting as I do believe we need all the tools to save this earths water.
