Lets put up water tanks on our sections and run the waste grey water over the lawns and gardens used to do that when I was a kid in the country all we could be smacked for would be toilet water usage then. Hospitals do not have beds for us . I am being forced to let my beautiful garden go . My veggie garden is my food source, and my flowers were always admired. The family water bill is no longer considered a necessary cost of living.
Water is essential for life .
I can not afford to turn on the taps to bath my children since Metrowater bills began arriving If I do not pay Metrowater's account they threaten to cut off my water, then I am forced to leave my house. We had a forced mortgagee sale and got nothing, Metrowater Ltd hounded us to repay weekly or we could not get water again. I have to choose between putting food on the table and paying this water bill. All running costs come from Operations Grants.
