Council to impose water restrictions

Necessary but there are many more things that can be done other than just restrictions to reduce water wastage - leaking supply pipes of Sydney's aging infrastructure , leaking taps , i like to turn off the water at the meter before bed and check the meter in the morning to see if any leaks, occasionally. Sydney has huge numbers of tanks but not many are connected to house supply toilets . We must face the realisation to store in floods and more dams for future needs or we will all be drinking our recycled sewerage and don't tell me its clean . There are many chemicals that can't be removed . Evaporation is a huge problem with swimming pools , our needs into the future will not be overcome with restrictions alone . Level 1 is nothing compared to level 3 & 4 , but having lived under those levels is no fun . Much of bottled water comes from groundwater bores which can be another issue and licences are handed out without much consideration.
