Are The Rumours True?

[CrispyFries]

And WTF are they doing. 39.9% is not full, so it is rather irresponsible to lighten restrictions going into spring/summer...

The north south pipeline was switch on this year, so that's probably part of the decision

Edit: Ahhh yeah... what Greg said ^^^

[jezza boii]

So when is this apparently happening?

The Melbourne Water website still says Stage 3.

You have listed a Supra / 300ZX / MR2, which are the cars you "did" have, you would be busy washing 3 cars on your own.

You mean your car?

You can now wash your car at home using a bucket or a high pressure cleaning device

- You cannot use a hose to wash your car

- You can of course use rainwater as you could under all stages of restrictions

This change has been made possible through a combination of factors:

- Melburnians commitment to water conservation the community has saved an additional 34 billion litres since the start of the voluntary Target 155 campaign. Melburnians have used just under 150 litres per person since the target 155 campaign commenced, a tremendous result.

- New sources of water are now on line and these add a new level of security and include the Tarago Reservoir and the North South Pipeline

- We have had much better rains. We had enough rain in Autumn to thoroughly wet the catchments and with the good winter rains storages are rising at over 1% per week. Currently our water storages are ~12% higher than the same time last year which equates to about six months consumption.

- Work on the new Desalination Plant at Wonthaggi is progressing very well, with completion still on track for late 2011. The desal plan will add another 150 Billion litres per annum which is about 42% of current annual water usage

I think if i hooked up my high preasure hose people walking the street would give me dirty looks just like when i washed my dirt bikes with it.. there like WTF ARE YOU DOING?!?! SAVE THE WHALES

[ashneel]
