Vulcann 6th Gear February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 If I am not wrong govt don't allow u collect water from rainwater. PUB warn against it Anyone can confirm this. This rule relaxed liao since 2005. You can collect it but cannot use it for drinking and that you have to satisfy a whole list of requirements about its collection plus discharging it. But I doubt they will go around every household to check on that. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanCoe Hypersonic February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 Do doesn't mean legal. Saf rule 7. Do but don't get caught. Haha. I hear ppl say only. I checked PUB website on rainwater harvesting; Yes you can - no problem at all !! No need to get caught So rain cum , everyone bring pails out and put in balcony and make sure you use it immediately In fact I have done same in my house and I put a piece of cloth over the pail and tie it around ( I use old big T shirt so it like condoms over the pail ) ; so that dust or dirt does not go in and keep the water clean and no mozzies too ; problem solved; make govt earn less money ) Advanced Search Search within:PUB Whole of Government The following FAQs could be helpful: Search results: 1 record(s) found. Expand All 1. Drainage Can my client build ornamental ponds or ponds to collect rain water for gardening and washing of the building premises? PUB allows rainwater collection for non-potable use in one’s own premise. For more information, please refer to 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahgong Supercharged February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 Like i said in the budget thread: the excuse of increasing the taxes are all in the name of green this and green that.you know, i will be damn glad to pay the increase if there are plans to make use of that increased collection towards green plans. what i cannot accept is that they just use a broad stroke excuse (ie increasing cost) and then increase the price.break down that increasing cost, justify it so that everyone got no way to question that cost increase. - salary? my salary never increase in years! read --> YEARS!!!- infrastructure?- material?be transparent about the increase, and people will accept it if you have to increase prices to keep things running.the other thing i cannot accept is, the excuse that in-the-name-of-going-green, prices will be increased.fair enough. you want to increase based on that, then you better have plans to show that you are also making plans to go green to utilize this additional monies that are collected for this in-the-name-of-going-green-to-increase-price excuse.- more solar panels for HDB blocks to reduce carbon food print of corridor lights, lifts... etc?- invest in technologies to harvest resources from the sea (ie hydro electric generators, desalination of sea water for consumption...etc)?read the whole blardy budget, all pro-business and nothing towards investing in green technology.

Vulcann 6th Gear February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 Press Release from Ministry of Ideas And Overzealous (MIAO): With effect from today, all swimming pools in Singapore will be drained and the use of water inside them banned henceforth Members of the public who KPKB still wants to swim, please go the sea.

WTF? Govt don't need to come up with any plans... those industries affected by the tax will be forced to innovate & implement green technology to reduce their carbon footprint & therefore reduce the tax increase impact... those who don't then suck thumb & pay lor.. Brilliant fr govt! On separate note... as consumer, even we play our part to conserve water... we still going to be kenna by the trickle effect as some bro mentioned... really sucks ... those not staying in hdb also no rebate... bear the full brunt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjkbeluga 5th Gear February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 For the water tax, they should at least cater in number of person in the household and set the tier accordingly instead of blindly set at 40m cube. Those who have 3 generations staying together will surely use more than 40m cube, especially folk staying fulltime at home and cooks. Simply not family friendly.

Spanly 5th Gear February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 and all these will have a trickle down effect on all of us... the products we buy.. the food we eat.. watever u can think off... since they are taxing a basic RAW material.... The trickle effect is gonna be much worst then the 30% increase in water itself... & we don't even has a control over it... Food price sure going to increase & normally when increase; easily 50 cents which translate to > 10% increase for a typical $4 meal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 If the ice caps are melting and the oceans rising isn't the best thing to do is use more water to stop the oceans rising? We got 7 billion people if we all drank just 1 litre of water, the oceans will be 7 billion litres lower. So the more swimming pools we build and store water the less water will be in the oceans. That's how to stop rising oceans. Make water cheaper. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
