More Nth Queensland - Town Water (Not IT related…again)
The in-laws live on a large property just outside of Townsville in a place called Alligator Creek. (Aside: no idea why it’s called Alligator Creek given we only have crocs……strangely, there’s about 4 Alligator Creeks in Queensland…..Queenslanders for you).
They recently moved over to “town water” at a pretty significant cost to the locals.
Local council dude comes out to finish off the connections and then spends the rest of his time putting stickers and signs on all “old” taps connected to the existing tanks and bores:
“Rain Water or Bore Water - Not Fit for Human Consumption”
Father-in-law turns to him……as he would; “We’ve been drinking this stuff for 20 years and now because you bastards have decided to let us pay for the privilege of having town water, the stuff we had is no longer safe?!”
You have to ask; WTF?
