am i right to still have 12 minute showers if i rent my house? i can understand if i own the house i should only be having 6 minute showers

i need to clean myself :p:p

what are they going do.... send you the bill for being over the water consumption limit... yes... thats exactly what they will do

have a shower for an hr if u want but u will have to pay for it.

so you're a bit dirty eh

it's not a matter of whether you own the house or not, you're still drawing water from the city's supply, so you should be trying to conserve it regardless of whether you own the house or rent it

No ma'er how moch you clean yourself you'll always be a dir'y slag.

Meh, my showers haven't changed in duration since the newest restrictions kicked in.

I just use half my usual water pressure and turn the tap off at moments when running water isn't needed.

i thought house renters had to pay for water usage, and it was just units, etc that didn't

A lot depends on the terms of your lease. If water usage is included in your lease, then you have to pay for the excess usage when the owner gets the bill. If it is not included on your lease, then you don't have to pay for water consumption.

i can understand if i own the house i should only be having 6 minute showers

Try 4.

Do you like the pulsating shower head that much Pop Princess?

pretty sure you cant charge tenants for water usage, I dont think the law allows that yet, but im pretty sure its changing.

Come next year you will be paying for all the water you use and scummy tenants won't be immune.

Sucked in bitches

Yayyyy I can keep having my long steamy showers :D
What you mean Scuzzy???? my shower head doesn't pulsate... other things do :P:P:P:P

Come next year you will be paying for all the water you use and scummy tenants won't be immune.

Yeah cause the government are noobs who can't build proper water networks to sustain a country.

Stop wasting water Princess.

But if I dno't have to pay for it then why is it a problem?

I know you are fishing for attention but I can't believe you could even type what you are
f***ing moron

hahaha you've gotta be a troll. nobody is that stupid!

f***ing moron

qft

I agree with Kat.

I suppose if you live on the Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast then you'll be OK since their dams are quite full, 85%+ I believe and I don't even think they have Level 5 restrictions.

we have level 5 restrictions.


s*** we had level 3/4 restrictions when you f***s didnt have any.

anyone else find the hour glass from the courier mail (I think it was) handy for timing your showers?

I'll remember to beat up the lying sack of s*** at work then.. BULLIES 4EVA!

*PoP PrInCeSs* has to be a fake account....

This isn't a fake account!!

we got our rates bill the other day

i was horrified to see we use 700litres a day in our household (between 3 of us)

ive never had longer than 3 minute showers, and wifey is pretty good these days

will have to check for leaks and what decimate is up to

i thought we'd be right for 140litre per person. . .. . .

Apparently they only made 200k for all of QLD so a lot of people missed out

Well that's a half arsed way of trying to improve the efficiency of water usage.

I can't find our latest rates notice but the previous quarter was 420l per day.

2 Adults
3 Kids
= 84l per head per day

Go team!

I live in a house with ten people, Yes big family! :D

I was very very surprised to find out we all use only average 104L each a day!! (average is 140L).

Helping save your arses.

i go to the GF's house to shower normally, and i don't drink water.

the government should sponser me or something.

We use just over 560litres a day, which is just on 140 per person but we have 5 people here at the moment and that brings it down to like 112 litres per person!

Would be so much easier if we didn't have to wear clothes

^ You seem to have that down pretty well :P

People forget that it is now 5 years on. Get with the times people.

I give 700 litres to my next door neighbour every month
hardly drink any water that doesn't come premixed in a beer bottle, soft drink can, gatorade or red bull an I always try an shower with a chick to conserve water.

I should get a medal....

Someone link me to kat.zip :P

when the average house in a slum costs nearly half a million dollars and rising i think its only fair that the owners cop it sweet. The Cap Gain should cover it.

gotta be a fake account or just the dumbest bitch in the world

160L on average per day between 2 of us so 80L per person is pretty good. We also don't go to great lengths either just a few smart things;

1) If it's yellow let it mellow
2) Stack the dishwaser until it's full
3) Use grey water from washing machine to water lawns
4) Have sex0r after drying off instead of in the shower

Few basic things and we're doing our fair share.. also my kat.zip is nowhere near 5yrs old;

Hi guys my bf can't get it up, is it because i'm an ugly skank? thanks *PoPeD PrInCeSs*

qft

Last I heard Bayside was only on level 2 still cause their water comes from Straddie. Poor Brisbane, all the lawns here are starting to look munted, first real visible impact I've seen of the restrictions besides a few extra dirty cars.

My family home, has a pool, spa, no water saving shower heads, we don't shower with a bucket, we have a jetski which needs water to be cleaned out (otherwise it f***s the engine), and 5 adults in the house. And we got a letter asking for advice on how to save water - because we are below average. (The average was calculated using 4 people instead of 5). How good are we?!

It's called miscalculation and lies Fireblood :)

you guys just use the pool instead of having showers right fireblood?

my lawn's not too bad, seem to get plenty of rain around the southside/logan

1) If it's yellow let it mellow

what about splash?

Still sharing baths with your girlfriends kat? ha

I know pop princess is a troll but she still s***s me off

what about splash?

Splashes get flushed ASAP.. especially the aftermath of Yum-cha or a curry.

Is it because you are fat and have alot to wash?

If it's yellow let it mellow
It it's brown, flush it down

Still sharing baths with your girlfriends kat? ha

I find showers with my fiancé a whole lot more enjoyable!

Splashes get flushed ASAP.. especially the aftermath of Yum-cha or a curry.

gross. i meant what inevitably happens when you go #2 in someone else's #1. no thanks

As much as I'm all for saving water, leaving piss in the dunny is uncool aight.

I have to agree.

Yeah, let's all die from dehydration because you sissy f*****s can't handle a bit of urine mellowing in a toilet bowl. Grow the f*** up.

Urine is clean anyway and sterile unless you have an infection when in your bladder, so like it's probably cleaner than the water that's probably sitting in there 'mellowing' anyway.

Wow insom, you've just proven that you're as dumb as you are gay. Put a bit of paper in the water = no splash backs.

yer, its just piddle

we dont flush unless its number twos either

qft

+1

Dumb bitch.

I am 22 and I never received the memo until a few weeks back a friend said "Off to make lasagne" im like...WHAT?! Lasange?!

we always flush even if its number 1. last year our toilet broke so we had to flush it with buckets. we would leave the urine in there for a day or two and it would stink the whole f***en house up. not doing that again.

Good work those trying to save water. I've personally tried to cut down on water usage but falling asleep in the shower doesn't reflect well on the water readings.

Be assured your state government is very proud of you saving water and is doing as an entity sfa to save it

:)

I stopped showering all together.

6 months and counting.

No one can tell the difference.

pretty sure you cant charge tenants for water usage, I dont think the law allows that yet, but im pretty sure its changing.

I just moved into a new place and it was actually mentioned in my tenancy statement that I pay for water usage.

Welcome back to the internet TK :D

Hehe, thanks Cl1nt, that last week without internet access was the hardest in my life. Now I'm off to download porn!

Sounds like I'm in for a nice shock when I return in 2 weeks...
Water use is really flippant over here in Canada (for obvious reasons)

I heard the situation was bad -- just not quite to the stage of not flushing piss.

Do whatever you can to bring us some water with you heme, fill in your pockets and dont swallow what's already in your mouth.
