And yet water services and liquid waste services, which both rely on copious amounts of water, represent 71% of our 2023 budget. There are water savings to be had here from the obvious solutions like using less water, to more complicated, long term solutions that involve new ways to carry/transport our sewage that involves less water, water that one day will be needed for human consumption. Metro Vancouver needs to look at more efficient ways to transport our sewage, to reuse it as fertilizer and to mine from it certain elements that currently flow into our rivers & the ocean. This would be a triple win for Metro Vancouver, us. More water resources saved means less pollution, less sewage plant costs if one removes solids before they go to the plants and less water shortages or none!boomyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877256233440037574noreply@blogger.com
