An expensive day or not!

May 3rd, 2007 at 10:27 am

My tank arrived today, I had it delivered & installed today, after a 217 days since I ordered it.

It cost $1540 plus extra $50.00 for a ‘Water Diverter First Flush’ so I can drink the tank water if I want too and the first lot of water doesn’t go into the tank so it clean water going into the tank only. I will get back $1500 in government rebates over next few months. I will keep you posted. So will end up paying $90.00 all up for the tank 3250L with pump, extra tap & extra pipe plus fitting from part of main roof near the garage.
I spent nothing else today.

    I really enjoy your blog. I was wondering if water problems are common in your area? Is this a yearly problem? Or, part of a longer cycle? I would so love to recycle greywater. It is illegal in Maryland, USA.

    It's a longer cycle as we haven't had very little rain in our catrchment areas for our three dams since 2003 or early and no run off. What rain there is landing in the city and not making it to the dams. Now our goverment is making a pipe lines to the dams for recycle water. Yes, it treated waste water. This will first go the the power stations then they will extend it to the dams by 2008/9. we will be out of water before then. By then I think they will stop us using our grey water so this can go into the dams as well! We are at under 20% now.
