HOUSEHOLDERS would be charged for each flush under a radical new toilet tax designed to help beat the drought.The scheme would replace the current system, which sees sewage charges based on a home's value - not its waste water output.

CSIRO Policy and Economic Research Unit member Jim McColl and Adelaide University Water Management Professor Mike Young plan to promote the move to state and federal politicians and experts across the country.

"It would encourage people to reduce their sewage output by taking shorter showers,recycling washing machine water or connecting rainwater tanks to internal plumbing to reduce their charges,''Professor Young said.

Don't think for one minute stuff like this won't happen here.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

And they will think of another tax when they don't get the revenue they

planned on.

Don't most places charge you for sewage by the equal amount of water that you have drawn from the system? This seems like something that most city water companies in America already do.

From the OP quote....

You know, in Ireland, there is no monthly water bill.

It's free.

Of course, everything else in the universe is taxed all to hell....
