[C320-list] Location of Grey Water TankonnewC32 forCharterSurvey

[Annie Bennett]

Hi Joan, the water in Sydney is pretty clean and my base is close to the
entrance out to sea.  The new rule is really just bureaucracy with no
differentiation between large commercial ferries and small sailing yachts.
Far more pollution pours into the harbour off the streets every time it
rains than comes from the occasional washing up I do (I mostly take it
home).  I don't do overnight charters so there is no shower water.  Private
boats don't even have to have a holding tank.

Annie-

Wow, after reading your posts I feel much better about the regulations we
have to deal with on the Great Lakes! I offer Persistence for bareboat
charter and I am SO glad I don't have to deal with the things you do. I have
to have an inspection every year, but basically they just want to make sure
the vessel is safe. We are required to have a waste holding tank but not a
grey water holding tank (hopefully they don't start getting ideas!) Is the
water pollution a big problem in Sydney? I'm wondering why they are so
strict. I guess I won't complain about our regulations any more.
