| 711128 | 2008-10-10 01:53:00 | I work for a water utility... we haven't had any water use restrictions in the city for at least the past 6 years (as long as I've been working here)... probably longer. I don't see the need for conserving water in NZ, we're not short of it. And once it goes down the drain it's going to make its way back into the waterways etc. in no time flat ready to be used again. the thing that confused us the most though was that people in small houses were allowed 9l per minute, but people in larger houses only allowed 6l per minute. What does the size of house have to do with it? Mike. |

Apparently it even applies if you are on you own tank water system, so you are using your own water that you have collect. Everyone should just have baths out of protest, although it will probably take 1/2 an hour to fill the bath at that water output. They would probably bring in laws to outlaw baths and spa pools next. |

| 711131 | 2008-10-10 05:20:00 | Wonder what they make of swimming pools. We seriously have far to many bureaucrats if they spend there time coming up with this crap. Guess I better start importing high-pressure water mixers from China.Anyone want one? |

| 711132 | 2008-10-10 05:23:00 | It's not the water but the power used to heat it. The suggested flow rates are an acceptable solution to comply, apparently there is provision to have more flow if the heating system is more efficient. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 711133 | 2008-10-10 05:31:00 | Doesn't matter what the reasoning behind it all is, its bull****, and shouldn't be tolerated. Though I suppose its to stop us running out of money for food when the emissions act kicks in and we start paying ten times as much for energy. Which probably means being forced to have a vege garden in order to eat. Go the Greens, For you are mighty and powerful. But hey, at the end of the day high prices mean more taxes for the government, and that is what we really want is it not? And of course the big picture is lower emissions, because after all we have practically none already and don't actually contribute to global pollution. But hey, whats the matter with lowering our living standards?, besides they can just allocate some more of the pie to us common folk, well, if there was any pie left. Aussie sounds good. |
