As it stands now, we can't use a hose for some of our garden/lawn but you can fill an entire personal swimming pool.
The city is currently using 500 million litres a day or around 333 litres/day per citizen (assuming 1.5 million citizens). I don't know the residential split but lets say every citizen gets 100 litres a day to use how they'd like. This means a family of 4 could average 12 m3/month and still stay within their allocated 100 litres a day. I'd take that deal in heart beat and happily water our garden/lawn.

Only 12 cubes a month? Get outta here with your communist nonsense. I can't survive on that.
