Basically you ain\'t gonna need it: Except it turns out we do.

Water tanks for houses were actually illegal in Brisbane (Queensland?) at one stage, with mosquitoes etc being the excuse.

I suspect selling water back to the city-grid would be uneconomic, but maybe you could have a street- or suburb-grid?  The energy it would take to pump water to the storage place would be the killer I suspect.  But it\'s pretty easy to survive on two tanks if you stop washing the car every weekend, use sprinkling systems for a garden suited to the climate, reuse grey water etc.

Most people don\'t do this however, and they won\'t until the price of water stops being held artificially low.
