Brisbane's water pressure: Drought pressure versus flood pressure. Push & Pull.

Water authorities reduced the water pressure to stop us from using too much water in drought.

But have they restored the water pressure to normal now that the floods have broken the drought?

This was a question raised in the dog park this morning by another dog owner who lives in Wishart.

She says the trickle out of her taps has turned into a gush in the past week or so. I haven't noticed a difference.

This is an ugly specter given the outrageous cost of water these days - cost her $1000 last year.

The cost of water is what brought up this question: is the water authority forcing us to use more water now by playing with the water pressure? Revenue raising?

Everyone knows the Government is broke - it's announced water board amalgamations & mothballing of now unneeded new infrastructure like desalinations plants.

Interesting question arises here: Do we trust a water authority or is this a case for Grommit?
