Melbourne water wasters face supply restrictions.

Melbourne water wasters face supply restrictions. :

"'It is a very a harsh measure, I wouldn't like to have my water restricted because it means it's nearly impossible to have a shower, you can have a cup of tea but it's a very restricted flow,' he said."

Details. I want details. I support any move to help us be more consistent and less wasteful with our use of water. I support any move which will stop us squandering...and we do and people have the figures to prove it. Restricting water supply is a harsh measure. If you can just make hot drinks, I am assuming you can flush the toilet? I am also assuming there will be a warning? We need constant encouragement and reminders about saving water. We need to be shown how to do it. Then, if we ignore the help and advice, if we become oblivious to the needs of others , then yes, restrict our water because pain is a great teacher. I should like to think we could sign up to an email account or something...text messaging, so that if we are in danger of crossing the overuse line, we can take action to avoid water restriction. For some people that means they will live in squalor and I do not think that will help. I am also hoping that this will apply to industry too. Householders use water but industry and businesses use more. I am forever turning off taps at work that are left dripping...so let this apply to all of us please.
