Feeling ripped-off!

[M61A1]

When Qld had strict limits on usage, people found they didn't need to use so much. When the reduced use was felt by the water suppliers and their income dropped they had to raise the prices. Can't have a semi government arm getting a reduced income.

The prices went up long before people started to use less. A lot got a rude shock, when they went on using large amounts, then got hit with the bill.

The reality is that in Queensland, if you don't live up north and on the coast, water is a precious commodity. I have tank water, partly because it's the best stuff, but also, because it gives me some control over my supply and how much it costs.
