Calgarys New Water Efficiency Plan: Aims to Cut Per-Person Water Use by 20% by 2040
The City of Calgary has introduced a new water efficiency plan with eleven key actions to reduce per-person water use by 20% by 2040. The plan focuses on fixing leaky infrastructure, implementing new outdoor watering rules, and introducing conservation-based pricing. The plan includes specific watering schedules for homes and explores tiered rates to encourage smarter water use. Local leaders have mixed views on priorities, with some emphasizing better overall management and others focusing on rewards for reduced usage. The plan also covers meter upgrades, education campaigns, and incentives for water-smart yards. The roadmap will be presented to the Community Development Committee on April 1st and then to council for final approval, setting Calgary up to handle water smarter as it expands.
