We are in Vancouver and already are on a water meter. Pay quarterly for water consumption.

Hmmm...... I guess they have not gotten around to my neighbourhood yet. I still pay flat rates.

I have lived in a Strata in Surrey for the last 6 years and we have been on a water meter since the project was built.

The advantage is that only the main water supply to a Strata is metered so any excess water usage that I may have with my 500G system is paid by my 73 neighbors.

Water conservation is quickly becoming a major issue and wasting water is something we should all be concerned with.

Water is life and there is less and less of it around that we can drink. Why anyone thinks a hunk of crystallized carbon is worth anything and then complains about paying for fresh water confounds me. I know no one here is complaining I'm just making a broad observation.

I agree crystallized carbon is worth about $50 a carat, the reat is a markup.

I've NEVER watered my lawn in Burnaby

Water is for putting INTO aquariums, not wasting on grass that we then have to cut, IMHO.
