Water Wasters Watch Out!

Melbourne's City West Water has finally cut off the water supply to a water waster! heh heh, serves him right! Story is here.

There was much in the way of covert ops going on, and they managed to catch this guy out. He claims to have been using tank water to wash his car, but City West think differently.

For the next 48hrs City West have restricted his water flow to 2L/minute. A mere trickle. A water saving shower head needs a flow of 9L/minute.

The story doesn't seem to have got much air time here, and I wish it would. There are lots of people who don't seem to really believe that we could run out of water. I'm glad they've stuck to their guns and cut this guy off.

Apparently warning letters have gone out to several households who have been reported to City West as water wasters (including the guy who got cut off).

Is it wrong to have a gleeful giggle about this?
