What a waste.

I don't understand why in the 21st Century we are still using drinking quality water to flush the bogs? it shouldn't be that hard to divert rain water from the roof gutters into a tank in the roof space and piped to the back of the toilet....they can do it with some new houses so why cant they do it for older ones? oh silly me! the water companies wouldn't get as much money then would they-as its not going through the meters !

What has it to do with the Water Companies. If people convert their toilets to use rain water then that is up to them. Many have, many are starting to do so. But nothing to do with your water company. Do you get your local garage to tell you to choose a smaller fuel efficient car? Of course not.

the water companies seem to have this strange idea that any water falling from the sky belongs to them and they will charge you for it, its already happening in the states and will soon be happening here.
