Does Wannon Water promote rainwater tanks?
Water is a limited resource that must be sustained and managed carefully. Although Wannon Water encourages water tanks, customers need to be aware that the use of rainwater should be limited to non-drinking activities such as gardening. Customers are reminded that the State Government “Water Rebate Scheme” program is offering a $1000 rebate on some rainwater tanks. Tank water may contain many contaminants sourced from atmospheric pollution, bird and animal faeces, insects, and residues from the roof material itself. For these reasons the quality of rainwater collected off roofs may not meet desirable health standards.
