Having lived with tank water - for those that don't know this means a big tank with a downpipe from the house roof collecting rainwater - yes and possum and bird poo etc. - You learn to be thrifty with it during the summer months because sometimes there is a drought....eg not running the tap whilst cleaning teeth, just wet brush and rinse mouth after. Not using all cycles on the washing machine ie bigger loads and one rinse. Using the waste water from kitchen and washing for the garden, showers not baths etc.. makes a huge difference and saves having to pay for a water tanker to bring water in.
