Rainwater tank in Melbourne - worth keeping or just remove?

Got a 2000L rainwater tank plumbed into the toilets and laundry. Previous owner didn’t put a proper base under it, so it’s started leaning and pulling the connected pipes with it.

Quote to re-level it, sort a proper base and reconnect everything is coming in about the same as just removing it entirely and capping off the plumbing.

For a 2000L tank on toilets + laundry in Melbourne, what’s the realistic annual water bill saving? Unsure what to do.

In 1962, a man from Yorkshire, England, named Brendon Grimshaw had enough of UK life, so he bought a small abandoned island in the Seychelles for just £8,000.

He moved there and became its sole inhabitant.

Over the decades, he planted 16,000 trees, built trails, and reintroduced wildlife - turning it into a paradise.

He was later offered $50 million for it, but he turned it down.

Brendon lived on Moyenne Island for nearly 50 years until his death in 2012.

Just noticed a small water strain coming from aircon in upstairs bedroom. Any idea what would be causing it? Does the AC drain line need to be cleaned?

Any help would be appreciated :)
