Don't forget the amount of ice cubes being saved as well .

On a side note..........I was told by a fellow at work that it helps a whole bunch if you put something in your toilet tank to displace the water.......like another container of water that just sits at the bottom or a brick or somthing like that.........dunno.

I think I'll put a 6 pack in there so I can get in a cold one whenever I'm sitting on the john.

I'm doing my part!

this is a BS. every year they want us to wash our cars and flush our toilets less and less. get more resovoirs is the answer they will have to do it sooner or later we are a growing country. i hat e that ****. try planning for the future and having reserves. we have lakes everywhere use them. it is just like they should of built the highway 3 lanes th whole way and now what are they going to do. traffic sucks to.

P.S. im going to wash my car at my grandpas house in abbottsford tommorrow to get it ready for the show this weekend. there is going to be a lot of dirty cars this weekend if the ban is followed

Less snow last winter = 80% full resevoirs instead of 100%. They shut down one of them to do new pipes this year too.

I have had a 1L Pepsi bottle in all my toilets for years.

Drumhawk can get away with washing his car because he takes the bedpans and uses them for water. The acidity of the urine cleans the car better then any car wash soap would.

Jimbo, if you'd Zaino'ed your car earlier you wouldn't have to wash it.

You're lucky they're not charging you water based on market prices right now....you'd be paying mega bucks.

I agree that it sucks not being able to wash, clean vs. dirty is like night vs. day, but not much we can do about it. My car is right filthy and it kinda hurts me to see it like that with 3 month old paint on her. But what can you do, a small price to pay for a teriffic summer thats for sure. Even still lookin at the forecast it's supposed to be 27/28 for the rest of the week. Kinda insane for the we(s)t coast so have a water shortage, but im still dreading 2 weeks from now, when we aint gonna be allowed to shower .

Get your butt up at like between 5& 6am & wash your car. Wet it down soap up the whole car then spray it down takes like 10mins to do the whole thing.

My husband & I have been washing his car like 2 days in a row friday we went racing ( he washed his in the morning & I washed mine in the after noon.) Then we had a car show the next morning. Got up washed it & that was the end of that.

Either that or go out & waterless Car wash chit.

Hahaha, I got yelled at in our apartment building so I told the manager to shove it and make sure she posts a notice next time. I'm not olbigated to watch the news or read the paper nore am I a water expert.

So I guess esso and all those other car wash places reuse there water, am I correct?

It's always something with our water supply, water shortege or drunkin people peeing in our resivoirs.

Where would the money for this come from? that's right, taxes. There are lots of things we would all love to see - effective universal health care, 5 lane highways all over the place, free schooling. Unfortunately all of these items are funded by taxes paid by us.

I bet if you found out how much more tax money you would have to pay for a new reservoir and the associated piping, you would change your mind.
