Well the whole idea of no-chill came from Australia where they are obviously more worried about water conservation than here - just seal it up and let it cool overnight.

It's marginal but it would be within the spirit of the ban if you collected all the water from your chiller in the bath say, and then used that water for permitted purposes like flushing toilets, watering indoor plants etc.
I've moved back to the UK after living in Australia for 30 years. I've started doing no chill brewing here. Mainly because I don't have easy access to water when I brew in the back garden. Strangely I never tried it in Australia. So far I'm very happy with the results. I'm just trying to get the hop additions right to compensate. Not sure I'd go back to my plate chiller.
