It becomes a regressive tax. How about a swimming pool tax? Or a water allowance per person rather than per residence?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13381521.post-1131067538302033132005-11-04T12:25:00.000+11:002005-11-04T12:25:00.000+11:00Water conservation is everyone's responsiblity whe...Water conservation is everyone's responsiblity when water is scarce. To waste water by dumping it down the gutter by the decalitre without putting to any good use is just plain wrong.
