Had a letter from those nice people who supply our water & sewerage services. A bill for water & sewerage used in the past few months. Interesting, as we do not have a house yet. A quick phone call to complain, turns out to be an estimated bill. We will have to pay the standing charges but we were asked to check the meter reading and get back to them. For those unaware of this all buildings here have individual water meters, usually just inside the front boundary so the man can nip over and take readings. Most of Melbourne has been on water restrictions for some time. No filling pools, watering the lawn, washing the car or washing windows. Our new place will have a rainwater tank which takes water from the gutters. This is then used to flush toilets and water the garden. The system will change over to mains water if the tank gets too low. We are considering getting a second, slimline tank, to make sure we have water to establish the new garden and keep it going.
