Water Tanks save water and improve the economy
How can this be?
We are charged so little by the Government for our drinking water, yet we are happy to pay so much for bottled drinking water. About 3000% more.
We should be using water tanks at home.
Properties are taxed each year on the "Capital Improved Value" of the property, well if a property has a water tank, this Capital Improved Value should be adjusted accordingly to show appreciateion for your effors in assisting with our Water Crisis.
Tax the properties more than do not have water tanks, based on a certain tank size per population density of the land.
The Government should be further encouraging the prolification of water tanks by providing a 40% subsidy on tanks for a 2 year period.
These tanks need to be connected to the house, for flushing the toilet, showers, gardens and the like.
Keep the "town water" for drinking, cooking and any extra requirements if the tanks empty (not for the garden though).
With the MONSTROUS introduction of these tanks, this is going to create employment and increase the economy.
There is going to be a greater need for plumbers, plumbing apprentices, electricians (to install the pumps). This is going to increase employment, reduce unemployment and reduce CentreLink payments.
These tanks are going to wear over time, maintenance is going to be required. This is going to keep the industry going over time.
If we were to have a tank for every household, how much water could we save. How much money could we save on putting in Government water infrastructure (this could be used for the subsidys).
You woud have to expect that this would allow our dams and rivers to revive themselves while we do the responsible things and use the resources we have available.
Would we be able to postpone further Water Treatment Plants and more Desalination Plants, if we were self sufficient and responsible for our own non critical water needs?
In Summary:-
1. Every household gets a tank, if not the get taxed
2. Government subsidys for 2 years, to kick start the industry
3. Increase employment, and apprenterships
4. Connect all tanks to the house
5. Postpone (for decades) further major water infrastructure projects.
Lets be water self sufficient and improve the economy.
