I believe that more emphasis should be put on reducing domestic and commercial use by education, metering and, if necessary, increasing the cost of water. I am no economist, but I would be startled, if the very small amount of my salary that water usage takes up truly represents the impact that service has on the environment and community. I am metered and would be willing to pay more, if I thought that money was: building a resilient water supply for the next generation, building capacity to cope with freak events and, most importantly, providing a carbon neutral water supply into the future that minimised impact on the natural environment.
