Water Tanks In Melbourne
As you are probably aware, Melbourne and Victoria are in a drought and experiencing quite sever water restrictions.
HOWEVER if you have a water tank or greywater system installed by a plumber and approved by your council then you can use that to water your garden and help ease the restrictions.
You can get up to $1000 rebate from the Victorian Government for installing a rainwater tank (5000 L+) that is connected to the toilet and/ or laundry. They also offer rebates for water tanks less than this so check the Melbourne Water website (melbournewater.com.au) for the latest rebate information and other information about water tanks for Melbourne and Victoria
To get the $1000 rebate you need to store more than 5000 litres. This works out to be approximately 12 Supertanks of 395 Litres each
You should also consider the rainfall data when deciding how much water you need to store and therefore the number of tanks you need. Melbourne has quite a consistent rainfall throughout the year which is good news for water tank owners. Regular rainfall means your tank will get topped up regularly so you don't need to store water for long periods without rain.
