I have been advised that the discussions were ongoing but there is no money to pay for what the Senators want. It is much easier to buy a water conserving tap and install a dual flush toilet in a new build and a retrofit is far more expensive. That is the point I made.

There are websites that can provide information on water conservation. There is a vast number of simple measures that everyone can do that cost very little. Most of them do not cost anything but will still reduce water consumption. The people that I spoke to knew exactly what to do and it is not going to cost them anything.
