That trough wouldn't be allowed here in the uk. It wouldn't comply with the water regulations that prohibit an inlet below the water level to prevent back syphoning and possible contamination of the public supply.

No Aussie made troughs would be compliant then.... How could it back syphon anyway? Unless there was a complete failure of the town supply and you had stock drinking at the same time. Seems another absurd rule.

Albury is waaaaaaaayyyyyyy closer to me that Ant.
That’s the way it is,they even come once in a blue moon to interrogate you about your water system.
You have to just baffle them with science.

They'd probably get shown the bottom of the trough here if they did that

My water is 90m above me, and im assuming valved.
I am installing inch and half poly over all farm and plumbing in bore and fresh water dam so i have 3 forms of water.
Its flogging down with rain, 30mm so far, 16mm the other day, not ideal poly weather!
In colac they have a pile of free carpet at carpet place, so picked up a bit and cut for ute to try keep indoor area cleaner.

If you have your own water supply there is no contamination of the public supply.

Shovel sorts them all out too.
Lifted 12 troughs yesterday. 10 for me , 2 for more had cracks so shifted them off paddock for owner. Out of those 12 there was 3 that had a snake under them.

Very Long handle for me with a shovel.
I’ve been ‘chased’ by an eastern brown once after being stupid enough to throw a half brick at it. It was a direct hit but it came straight for me. I ran full on Usain Bolt, so didn’t look back at for how long it actually chased. From that moment forward, I’ll always keep a shotgun or a cat between me and it.

In general kids make enough noise to keep anything away.... also had a German shepherd that looked after them.
