My question is does this kind of ration even work? People are just going to store up as much water in tubs and buckets as they when when there is water, then most of that water is going to be wasted. ---

Probably not. Even if it does it is not going to be enough. Cynical side of me says it is just political posturing so that when we eventually do run out they can blame it on us! ---

We opened up the sink drain and are collecting the water to use in the garden. Use a tub to collect shower water to flush toilets. Honestly they really should close the swimming pools! :sideeye: ---

People are just going to store up as much water in tubs and buckets as they when when there is water, then most of that water is going to be wasted. Some bigger buildings have tanks that go for about 2-3 days. But I guess they’ll save water by shutting down leaking water mains for two days.
