We have met the Water Conservation Goals.

The report, which you can find at this [link], looks at the goals stated in the Universal Water Metering study and in the Water Efficiency Plan and compares those with the 2010 usage. 

In a previous post I said, based on 2004 data, that we compare well with BC and Canada.  Now I would say we have done extremely well.  Our residential usage per capita is about 15% below the BC average.

Our total water usage is the lowest in the past 11 years in spite of a 22.5% increase in population since 2000. 

This is something that should be celebrated rather than having about a million dollars per year spent on trying to get us to use even less water than that.
