Yip it is bad. I have just spent the whole day doing laundry and carrying the water from the washing machine to water the garden. First load/cycle of water goes into the garden (I use an environmentally friendly washing powder). The rinsing water got recycled back to be used again in the first cycle of the next load and the last loads water has been bottled into lots of 5ltr empty water bottles I have saved and will be used for the toilet. When we shower we save that water as well and use it for the toilet and or garden. I buy 5ltr bottled water for drinking and save the empty bottles for the water we save from showering . Baby's soaking water goes into the seedlings I have planted in a planter box. They say from Feb onwards we are only allowed to us 50ltrs per person per day. And they are talking of day zero where we will have to queue for water and each person will only be allowed to take 25ltrs. How we are going to be able to do that and still put in a full day at work is what I want to know, nevermind the people who don't have cars. We will also have to pay for it as we collect, so for those who don't have money I don't know what they are going to do.

That sounds like a lot of work and a lot of thinking how to use your water. By reading your post I thought how precious water is or can be. Sometimes I forget this because we have enough water. 50 ltrs is not much and 25 ltrs is really few.
