Dear Editor,
Looking at several Albert Street (4500 block) lawns, I am pondering what policing and subsequent fines have been applied?
Indeed we taxpayers need to see in print exactly who has abused the watering restrictions across the City of Burnaby. Does such a list exist of obvious offenders ?
Now, secondly, the densification ploy by developers must be stopped until adequate water supplies are addressed for all of Metro Vancouver and Burnaby specifically. Why does Burnaby charge $50 to shut off and $50 to turn on residential water lines and $150 to effect same on weekends, when the deposit and temporary loan would suffice ?
Someone at city hall really needs to examine such charges to residents in a spirit of natural equity.
