petplanet Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Bummer its raining, i was gonna go get some water from Herald island tonight. Surely that would have to be one of the worst places to get water. Incoming tide would wash all the crap up the harbour. At least Takapuna is closer to the open sea.

At least Takapuna is closer to the open sea. Yea i might give it a miss, for the size of my tank 130 ltrs, i could prob just buy pure dew at around 5$ for 10 ltrs and make ASW.
