Steve’s Stuff
Why would I try and save water?
I hate paying my water bill. I’ve just paid my tri-annual ‘Services Account’. Although I don’t mind paying for the water. There is no financial incentive for me to bother to try and save water.
The cost of installing and plumbing up a rainwater tank vs. what is available in the form of rebates is a joke. The out of pocket charges are huge. The ‘Services Charges’ remain the same, and the drop in town supplied water charges is negligible.
The government offered a $2000 cash back grant for fitting an LGP system to a car. With some installations only costing $2500 it was only a $500 out of pocket expense. The price of LPG is a lot cheaper than petrol so there are some substantial on going savings to be made too.
Yet try and save water a ‘precious resource’ and there is no financial benefit to be gained, only extra expense.

While checking the stats for my webspace, I noticed some traffic coming in from a couple of sites and I decided to check them out. Someone spotted my DIY dyno pages and blogged about it. Thanks guys.
