I would imagine one of the major benefits to it is that its better for the environment,  you can advertise the fact that your doing your bit etc, but if saving water is the bit you're doing because we might be in the middle of a drought theres likely to be no rain anyway, so either way your stumped; whether you want to fill from the stand-pipe in the road or from your empty water bowser in the garden. To get around this your going to need a friggin' big hole in your garden to be able to work through a drought with water-restrictions/stand-pipes/no rain for 6 weeks (which isnt unheard of in this country by any means; last April, yes April, we had zilch rainfall here)

if i can keep going off my borehole for a year and a half using 2000 - 3000 litres a week, i think its gonna be ok. this is just a precaution, and i also want to get over to DI in the new van, much quicker and no waste.
