| Richmond water meters
What are your opinions?
Benefits? Disadvantages?
I want to know, because maybe this could be a good choice for my family.

I have an idea of what you're writing about as I've caught a glimpse on the news but to help your cause, you might want to post a link to an article or at least outline the topic.

Are you talking about that proposed high school dress code that bans exposed thongs and tummies (or guts in some cases)?
Don't all houses have water meters?

well, hell, I'd do it just for this:
When your meter is installed you can receive a FREE low-flow showerhead and a toilet water saving device. 
Seriously, I figure it's just a matter of simple math to find out if it's worth it. If you know what the rates are going to be (couldn't find it), how much water you're using (probably not) and how much you're currently paying (+65% est. increase over the next 5 years), you should be able to average out the cost difference and see if it works for you.
I can see it being beneficial for someone who lives in a townhouse or a small home with little greenery but obviously, if you own a big chunk of land or a farm or something, you'd keep things the way they are and let all the small guys carry you.

I'm leaning towards a "no". We are on a 3000 sq-ft lot and usually around 4 people in the house.
Watering in the summer will surely increase the flow.

they got this kinda thing with electricity going on in eastern Canada.
Prepaid electricity.
I dunno...if you are single living in an apartment its not a bad thing, but with a big family and big house i'ts not really ideal.

Bringing this topic back up.
I got a visit by a rep from the company contracted by the City of Richmond to install these water meters. It's still "voluntary" (so it's a free install)...but thing is, we have a pool. Wondering how effective this is going to be.

LOL....I just looked at the leaflet that the guy handed me. It says, "2009 is the last year to volunteer for a FREE water meter".
Seriously, 2009?

the lot size won't affect your water consumption, it's the people inside the house that matters. There's 5,000 Sq houses in West Van and their monthly water bill is under $80.
Generally speaking, if you have 5 people in the house and you have a water meter, you are breaking even with the flat rate as of 2009's rate. So if your household has 4 or less people, sign up for a meter.
And yes, that's an old pamphlet.
And no, if you live in a condo or a townhouse, you won't get a meter installed because how of your water service is setup. At least not with current Richmond by-laws.
I know this because I used to work for the company that does the installation. BTW, out of all the installers, Willem is the best.

having a teenager daughter who takes 30 min showers daily is 10 times worse.
and seriously, if you have a pool, you don't care about water rates to begin with

I have a water meter for my house in Richmond (just me and my wife live in it). According to our bill, having a water meter has supposedly saved us hundreds of dollars (can't remember exact amount of the top of my head). It depends on how much water you think your family uses.
