Well known to authorities, prior to the official ruling of the drought, governments were setting up to make BIG money, as well as setting up businesses prior to the government sponsored drought. Car Wash businesses were sprouting up all over the place, in what seemed to be an illogical move, during a climate where water was not under restriction.
Very soon after, governments declared Stage 3 Water Restrictions, in where also vehicles could NOT be washed at home, but ONLY at car wash facilities.
The official excuse was that the facilities had water saving features.
Photographs on file, taken by corpau, have shown clearly that the car wash businesses had NO water storage tanks, and used the SAME drinking water from the tap, i.e. same water supply as the domestic clients in one of the country's great water rip offs.
The cost average car wash was in the approximate range of $10 to the consumer. If one was to wash one's car at home, with water from the tap, (at an approx 80 cents per 1000 litres) and consumed 20 litres, the cost for the car wash would be an approx 1.6 cents.
The car wash businesses used the same water domestic supplied water, BUT were exempt from any levies or taxes on water.
During the drought governments watered their city council properties, and many litres went down the drain during this process.
The mass media, has deliberately been quiet on this matter, in bringing out another government sponsored scam.
