Growing up in christchurch I know we all take clean water for granted - recent events have changed that idea.
Having lived in Melbourne during a long drought & seen the need to seriously conserve water usage I think its time for christchurch residents to seriously consider getting rain water tanks install at their house.
Filling the tanks would not be an issue as we all know it rains now & then in chch.
Aside from having spare water in a future emergency there are eco benefits to a water tank.
Using the water for your garden or to flush the dunny reduce the requirement on the council for supplying clean drinking water that then gets wasted on a garden or toilet flush when that level of clean water is not required.
