Calgary's Water Efficiency Plan: Mandatory vs Optional
Description
Calgarys city council proposes a water efficiency plan to reduce per-capita use by 20% by 2040, from 315 to 285 litres per person per day. The strategy includes permanent lawn watering schedules, smart meters, pipe repairs, and low-flow fixtures, costing $354 million over four years. Councillors debate the plans effectiveness, with some advocating for education over mandates, while others support it as a nudge towards night watering. An amendment to make the schedule optional is under consideration, with a vote pending.
