#1 This is total bull. The water will reach the total system no matter how many tanks there may be.

This is just one more money / power grab by socialist government and the perfect metaphor for their belief that government owns everything.

And BTW Aussie has been getting a lot of rain in the last 6 mos. to a year. It has always been subject to longer and shorter droughts.

#3 It's against the law in some counties of California to collect any significant quantity of rain water. In California, water belongs to the government and you don't get any more than what you either have rights to or pay for, no matter where it comes from.
