To Jim and Moose, good on you. Sydney's water catchment area dams are down
to fifty percent of their normal capacity and dropping fast. We're
experiencing the worst drought in over one hundred years and our current
temperatures of mid thirties Celsius and extremely high humidity are a bit
of a trial. And all this from the so-called driest continent on earth which,
on the coast at least, has always had excellent water supply.
Of course if you really want to save water in the smallest room in the house
try this:

Moose - I'm flushed with pride to think that you're doing your part to
conserve all us Northern CA residents water supply. Check with your local
water company, sometimes they offer rebates for the installation of the 'low
consumption' hardware... that would shorten your payback even more.
