The Editor,
Metro Vancouver is planning to construct a 3.2/2.2-metre-diameter water supply main from Coquitlam Lake down Pipeline Road to its Cape Horn pump station on Mariner Way.
The proposed pipeline is large enough to drive a small vehicle through. This will cause a lot of disruption to our municipality.
According to a Metro Vancouver watershed manager, “What we’re doing is getting ready to add another million more people here in the next 30 years.”
Every year, citizens endure water restrictions due to ongoing summer dry periods that have already affected some of our three reservoirs and even backup alpine reservoirs at times.
Something does't seem to add up here: More people and less water?
