Why would I choose a rain water tank if I am not paying for water on a meter?

The answer is an emotive one, which you should think about seriously.

Water is particularly rationed during dry seasons or droughts, which have been happening often in recent years in Australia so it makes sense to save as much water possible.

If we had a perfect world where it rained in equal measure to sunshine, then water conservation would probably not be on the top of a lot of agendas. But the simple fact of the matter is that whether you believe in global warming or not, water sources from reservoirs and other facilities just simply dwindle in recent years due to dry weather patterns.

Australia is currently suffering from yearly droughts, which is not just limited to the drier parts of the country. It affects all of us, so if more people helped relieve the pressure on water supplies, then water availability would be greatly increased in future years.

Water restrictions are already enforced in many parts of Australia, so it makes perfect sense to gather and store rain water, which is a free source when it does arrive via the sky.

Making the move is not hard, all you have to do is find a reliable company who fits rain water storage tanks, or purchase and fit your own if you are handy - definitely something worth thinking about.
