Has anyone installed rainwater tanks for use in hot water systems (showers etc.) in the Sydney Water area?

Question

I'm trying to find out if there is a precedent whereby you can use rainwater within the Sydney Water area for more than just toilets/laundry/pools and gardens - eg: for hot water supplies to showers/basins. My council are pushing me back.

Answer 1

Just a general observation but what do the council do for those people who are not on mains and only have rainwater tanks? Farms and rural areas often only have rainwater tanks for their household water supply.

The only way I can see the council having a say is if there is a rebate coming back to you and that has conditions as to the rainwater tank usage.

Answer 2
