They say they have already been using significantly less water than their state allotment, and they are still going to be under the new allotment by a large amount. Yet they are still going to charge more for water in order to encourage even less water use.

People already spent time and money to use less water, so much so, they say they are fine in a drought, but are getting punished anyway. These people need new neckties.

You store it in an underground cistern. Downspouts can run into an above ground filtering box of some sort, catching bigger debris. From there, a pipe runs it to your underground storage tank. From the cistern, you can run pipes to your home, pulling the water up by a jet pump. From there, it'll travel through your in-house filtering system.

This is more ideal for toilet/showering. They do have very expensive UV water filtering systems you can set up if you really did want to consume it.

An underground cistern/tank collecting rainwater, coupled with well water and water softener and you are good to go.

Not as easy as city water, but a little work or hiring someone and spending a few shekels can take care of your water needs.

A few shekels? Installing an underground cistern large enough to store a rainstorm's worth of water and plumbing it to your house can easily cost $100,000.
