Given the severe drought of recent years and the government response to build a desalination plant. One must expect that water rates will rise steeply: some estimates are from the current level of $400 to around $2,000,YES$2,000. The severe water restrictions might ruin many gardens, but certainly not mine, while, I use these easy water saving measures.
