About time, pity they don't have the guts to do this countrywide!

Tariffs and metering are at the heart of a new strategy aimed at conserving water and making people pay for the amount they use.

The target is to cut every person's average daily water use from the current 150 litres per person per day to 120 litres through charging and more efficient technology.

1. I should give lessons in how to be a water miser

The meter reader came around Monday and asked me to turn my water on to make sure my meter was working.

2. I never get a meter reader

as the meter is outside of the house

4. Mine is out at the edge of my front yard

and if the cover hadn't been off it, I'd never have known what he was checking for.
