Calgary's New Water Efficiency Plan
Description
Calgary City Council unveils ambitious water efficiency plan to cut demand by 20% by 2040, featuring mandatory watering schedules, meter upgrades, and leak repairs. The new plan replaces the successful 2005 plan, aiming for 285 liters per person daily while keeping river pulls under 233,000 megalitres a year. The plan faces criticism, with some councillors advocating for leak fixes before watering restrictions. The city admits losing nearly a quarter of treated water in 2022, mostly from service connections, and is investing $179 million in pipes and promoting smart landscaping incentives.
