Shower thoughts are wasting water. (aussie.zone)

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it back up to rinse.

Plus, water is damn expensive!

Who here really has the time to stand, think and waste in the shower?

Damn, it sounds like your area needs some good reservoirs.

This is when you keep with the same infrastructure of 1900 something in an ever growing city lol.

Why? Doesn't you city council or similar organization want to take care of its citizens?

Until this day there hasn't been a statement from that man about the matter, and he just won as a federal deputy in the recent elections smfh.

Also the state president allegedly said that he would not declare this situation as an emergency situation because this is the way of how to live nowadays, and he is very proud he sent "tons" of pipes to the people LMAO (it could also be fake news from Facebook, but I would not be surprised, also ppl said those pipes were for show off, and they were empty lol).

Anyway nowadays there is sufficient water, or so it seems, that some crocodiles are walking on the streets LMAO (if you wanna guess where I live, I would not blame you).
