Water use down after Metro lawn sprinkling ban Officials hope stage 3 rules will make supply last by Jeff Nagel Black Press A drop in regional water use following the imposition of a complete lawn sprinkling ban has Metro Vancouver cautiously optimistic that even tougher water restrictions can be avoided. The regional district declared stage 3 water restrictions July 20, outlawing any home sprinkling, pool filling, pressure washing or outdoor car washing. Consumption had run between 1.31 and 1.48 billion litres of water per day prior to the stage 3 declaration, but water use dropped to 1.24 billion Tuesday and 1.19 billion Wednesday. That’s just under a new regional target of no more than 1.2 billion litres a day that officials estimate should stretch the water supply all the way to November, even if not another drop of rain falls until then. “We are seeing positive results with stage 3,” said Metro utilities committee chairman Darrell Mussatto. “Obviously cooler weather is our friend, rain is our best friend and people are making a difference.” Tougher water rules were imposed because the reservoirs have continued to decline sig-
nificantly through July, reaching 69 per cent capacity this week, much earlier than normal. The move to stage 3 came after Metro engineers retooled their estimates of how long the water could last if the extreme dry conditions persist for months. Original calculations were based on the driest year previously on record, which still had some rain in the summer. “We changed the model last weekend,” Mussatto said. “We said forget the driest year. Let’s pretend there’s no water between now and the end of October. What does that look like?” That scenario is estimated to be a one-in750-years occurrance, Mussatto said, adding that’s how the 1.2 billion litre daily maximum was reached, as well as the decision stage 3 was required to reach it. Metro has approval from B.C. Hydro to buy up to 62 billion litres of water from the Coquitlam reservoir—more than usual at an additional cost of $862,000—but Mussatto stressed that volume is already factored into Metro’s supply estimates, as is the water stored in high alpine lakes that will be transferred to the Seymour and Capilano reservoirs. The Coquitlam reservoir is a large water supply, but Metro’s ability to draw from it is currently limited by the height of its intake pipe. The region plans to build a deeper intake so it can draw more, gaining more capacity to serve population growth in future years, but
The regional district declared stage 3 water restrictions July 20, outlawing any home sprinkling, pool filling, pressure washing or outdoor car washing.
Mussatto said that will be a multi-year construction project. Longer term, the region can raise the height of the Seymour dam, but it hopes it won’t have to embark on that very costly project for decades. Mussatto said the regional board will likely EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION
