The bucket brigade, a month on.

Melbournians, including me, have embraced using plastic buckets as a really easy way to save water (eg. first flow in the shower). In fact their has been a massive 24% reduction in water usage for january 2007 (compared with the same time last year) in a year when January has been significnatly hotter and drier than average. So water restrictions are working and most people are acting responsibly. We even have a website to monitor weekly water usage now.

Well done folks.
