We recently received a water bill that shows how
effective the installation of a water tank can be in
terms of water savings. The graph below compares the
current May to August usage with the same quarter in
2006.
Our tank is used to flush the centres toilets and can
be used to water gardens if required. We are waiting
for push button taps to be installed in the toilets.
This should result in further savings in the future.
Other positives about tanks include the fact that
they store water far more efficiently than dams and
that they are five times more energy efficient that
desalination plants. Apparently only 6% of homes in
Sydney have a tank installed. (Renew, Issue 100, Page
