What is water conservation costing you?

Cities are raising water rates to offset the loss of revenue caused by using less water.

Can anyone say Catch-22? picked by tigertony 2 years ago

Last year, homeowners in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon installed some 7,103 subsidized low-flush toilets, compared with just 204 two years earlier.

The trend is the same everywhere.

Last year, Torontonians consumed 374 cubic million metres of water, a huge drop from the 424 million cubic metres that poured from the city's taps in 1988.
The article almost makes this sound like a bad thing. Aquifers and rivers are drying up because we suck out too much water, and I personally have no problem paying more if it means I'm helping the planet that sustains me.

If the Toronto Star wants to write a bad story about water, I dare them to go outside, take a nice, long drink of lake water and write about the consequences.

I agree with you. Trouble is, a lot of the marketing that the electric/water/gas companies are putting into conservation are that it'll save your household some money.

With stories like this one, plus electricity pulled the same thing a few months back, most people will start to feel ripped off with conservation.
