The City of Richmond is offering multi-family complexes subsidies up to $100,000 - $1,200 per unit - to install water meters.
The city claims metered complexes save 48 per cent on average compared to those paying a flat rate.
The city is inviting owners, strata councils, residents and property managers of apartment buildings, townhouses and strata-managed residential buildings in Richmond to learn about the cost and benefits of installing a water meter at drop-in open house sessions.
The sessions will be held:
- Tuesday, March 17 at South Arm Community Centre, 8880 Williams Rd. (4 to 6:30 p.m.)
- Thursday, March 19 at Cambie Community Centre, 12800 Cambie Rd. (4 to 6:30 p.m.)
- Tuesday, March 24 at West Richmond Community Centre, 9180 No. 1 Rd. (4 to 6:30 p.m.)
City staff will be at the open house sessions to give information and answer questions on the multi-family volunteer water meter program.
The first 25 attendees at each information session will receive a free water conservation kit.
