Melb's stage 3a downgraded to stage 2

From Sept 1, 2010, Melburnians can wash our cars at home with a bucket or a high-pressure water saving hose. Vic water restrictions

yeha man, this serves a good purpose, but i still think i'll give my car a good rinse at the jet wash before i wash it at home. normal hose isn't good enough to wash the loose dirt away... -_-

its good that the vic government is giving us victorians the opportunity to do this after a decade. thank god the water levels have risen to about 41%.

my aurion is far from showroom condition at the moment. can't be bothered drving it to the car wash so i may as well do it at home when the law changes.

Am very jealous - Bendigo is going to be on Stage 3a and above forever and ever and ever.. you get the point. I also hear that Ballarat's restriction level has dropped and they were meant to be further up s**t creek in terms of running out of water than we were, not fair!

I guess as long as people are still water wise and don't go wasting it now the restrictions have dropped it'll be alright, but really its us out here in the regional areas that suffer, though much of QLD is even worse. Would be very nice to be allowed to wash the car with a bucket though, but at least there are the car washes that recycle the water :)
