[streetbeastINC.]

[Strugglerzinc]

WASA ent hear about the revolutionary new device called the hose nozzle.

Hire a tiida man.. wetness for days

The best defense is a good offense...

Nothing works better than putting the public on the defensive when "authorities" aren't doing their jobs and cleverly deflecting the responsibility away from themselves. It works like a charm. So, we get harassment about vehicle tints and now the "Water Popo" looking for nefarious hose users.

Now that the word "drought" is firmly part of the local lexicon, lets hope they finally put things in place to make it a thing of the past.

That is all I want to know. And is like they never hear of them trigger head attachments either.

[streetbeastINC.]

well from what i seeing the law states is the use of hose to do such and such activities.......... i have to call wasa....,,,,cuase some of those einsteins who have the vested power have no idea how to interpret the law.

[*OUTSIDER*]

I washed my car this morning and IMO i use more water by using a bucket as WASA suggest. 1 gallon bucket dipping from a barrel vs. hose and nozzle...

[meccalli]

Yup, you can distribute a small amount of water over a greater area using a nozzle attachment with a hose.

[Ted_v2]

wash my car since thursday, still fresh.

how long this intend to last?

[S_2NR]

Two weeks before everyone forgets and moves on, if so much

[*$kїđž!™]

Pressure washers use less water than a hose.....and a hose with nozzle saves water in relation to buckets ...them people really dumb yes ....

[mark2.0]

WASA jus

[GeneralHonda]

Considering hooking a backwash hose to the waste water lines for the washer and shower so that it will be diverted to soak the lawn areas. I wonder how WASA will deem this.

Some of the detergents etc used in washing clothes might not be good for the lawn.
What you looking to implement is a grey water system. Can allow for some sort of filtration / pretreatment too because all kinda stuff comes out the shower.

If wasa brace you, ask dem if them eh know who is me and tell them I say haul dey mc too.

I believe that's an old pic, it's just being reposted all over Facebook now.

[ruffneck_12]

i paying for facking water and i cant water my garden ? steups...damn country turning into a biggerer sheit hole yes...

The water cycle is affected by weather/drought.

It doesn't matter if you can pay for it, it's a simple case of there is a finite amount to be distributed and therefore prioritizing the use.

This.
Man er learn the water cycle in school yes.

wtfack are we living in the desert? Since when is it okay for man to put laws on gods own creation we already paying for the dam thing, time to go back to old time yes put some barrels to catch water when it rain

What you actually paying for, is a direct pipeline to your house and filtration/pumping services etc.
If it was the old time days, you'd still have to conserve water. (It's a limited resource nah)

If you don't like modern conveniences then go live in the bush.

Found some compromise in using a short hose with a trigger head to fill buckets and watering cans. More efficient time/energy/water wise.

Plus when I putting away the hose I drain off the water into a bucket for a last use at something.

Woulda been more efficient if I coulda put up a wall instead of using plants for privacy, but that is another story.
