This set-up was developed in/for the Sudan where water is as scarce as hen's teeth. <BR/><BR/>Maybe there ought to be a cut-off valve. Use your 5000 gallons and then you don't get any more until the new month. Since we use about 20 gallons a day I'm not too worried about that extra two cups. :) I can probably "harvest" it while waiting for the water to get hot for dishes - i.e. catch the cold water that comes out of the tap first.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133236228952504852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31544381.post-42603282770421334812009-03-18T15:55:00.000-07:002009-03-18T15:55:00.000-07:00my after college (the first time) roommate was T. ...my after college (the first time) roommate was T. Zeer. <BR/><BR/>This sounds like a neat idea but water is going to be a big issue here this summer. The Water Board introduced a new limit on water usage. We have never in all the time we have lived here in paradise been over or even remotely close to the limit. The old limit (for the sake of argument) was 100. We were at 80 maybe twice. Now the limit is 50. It is okay now but even with the limited amount of watering we do in the summer we are never going to be below 50 even in the winter. And the problem being...this means those that have been wasteful with water will continue to be wasteful because they don't even think twice about paying the overage fee all year long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
