Water Usage vs. Allocation

In 2014, Highlands Golf used 2,819 cubic metres of water (including domestic use at the residence) on the property.

Our allocation is 10.0035 acres water = 22,275 cubic metres allowed annually.

Results over the last few years are as follows:

2011      2,986 cubic metres used    =    13.4% of allocation

2012      2,953 cubic metres used    =    13.2% of allocation

2013      3,162 cubic metres used    =    14.2% of allocation

2014      2,819 cubic metres used    =    12.7% of allocation

Costs?  2014 costs were $3,901.85, up from $3,343.92 in 2013.

Since 2008, water costs have increased by 219%.

In the 14 years since Highlands Golf opened, water costs have increased by approximately 400%.

"Thank goodness you didn't use that other 87.3 per cent of paid-up allocation," avows Kia.

Since no provision exists in Regional District water bylaws to refund (buy back) unused allocation, wonder who is using that 87.3 per cent?
