Opinionated news exctraction for all by that geeky accountant type guy...

I think the Government will owe more to us then us it...all that water that they don't collect that goes down the storm drains, for not collecting it there should be a penalty...

Taxing the rain in the rainwater tanks looks like a great way to encourage the use of rainwater tanks...

I wonder if I could get a deduction if I pissed in the gutter.

"If 1000 homes were to install 5000-liter tanks with an annual yield of 57,000 liters, this is 57 million liters that would not have reached a river or ground water system, or - viewed another way - is taken from either the environment's entitlement or another productive use."

haven't they realised its not been raining that much lately, also it assumes you use all the water in that 5000L.

If they really wanted to make some money taxing things, why not tax people that horde money. When they really should be spending it...
