[LINK] OT Use of Water from Rainwater tanks

[Marghanita da Cruz]

As I had a couple of responses to my cheap shot at Toowoomba (where  building
codes only require the toilet to be connected to the mains), here is the
situation in Sydney/NSW....

> While the NSW Department of Health doesn't advise using rainwater for drinking when there's an alternative mains water supply available, we could save millions of litres a year by using rainwater for toilets, in washing machines, and garden and outdoor use.
> 
> # Sydney Water Rainwater Tank Rebates - There are two parts to the rebate*:
> 
>    1. A tank capacity rebate - for the size of your rainwater tank
>    2. An internal connection rebate - for connecting your rainwater tank to a toilet(s) and/or washing machine.
