Why are meters required?

Residential water metering is common practice for water utilities worldwide, and municipalities across the Lower Mainland are transitioning from flat rates to metering. Residential metering improves the alignment between how much water each person uses, and how much they pay for their water and sewer services. This also provides a financial incentive for people to conserve water and help protect our drinking water supply.

With a meter, people who conserve water could pay less each year for their water and sewer utility bills, relative to the existing flat rates.
