The Editor,
Re. “Water meters getting a look” (front page, The Tri-City News, April 20).
The suggestion by Metro Vancouver bureaucrats and municipal politicians that water meters be installed in every house in the region reminds me of the other disgustingly expensive and unnecessary project: BC Hydro’s not-so-smart meters.
But I do have a question for them: If they go ahead with this foolish idea, would the cities cut the yearly utility bill in half? Don’t hold your breath.
As far as the coming water restrictions, I can only say that Metro Vancouver likes to play the scare tactic game. I, for once, will water my lawn, flowers and garden this year.
