    "As nearly all of (the homes in) mainland Australia's cities and towns already have water meters, introduction of a volumetric charge, such as that used in the City of Bellaire, would not be difficult to implement.'' Does this mean your drinking water and piss would be flowing through the same meter. X|

      I am on a water meter, and have trained my body to do it's business during work hours!

        "As nearly all of (the homes in) mainland Australia's cities and towns already have water meters" So why is that not sufficient? :confused:

            Most municipalities in the US already do that. The charge for sewage services is based on water consumption, so you get to pay for it coming and going, so to speak.

              Gotta love the bloody media. They may as well have written, more accurately "HOUSEHOLDERS would be charged for each glass of water you tip down the sink under a radical new toilet tax designed to help beat the drought". It's the same thing. Though maybe if they spend a little time fixing the bigger problems, like poor placement of dams in relation to the clouds. I mean - it can't be that hard. They are fairly easy to spot.

              cheers, Chris Maunder

              Anybody ever tried to create mobile, inflatable dams? You know, truck em around and pump em up under clouds... no, didn't think so...

                You should charge them for the added nutrients.
