Here we go again. Before spending our money to educate us about water conservation, the SCRD needs to educate itself as to the number of summertime users who access it. The last reference I have seen still cites the census as the source for population figures. Those do not include non-resident property owners, who swell our numbers considerably each summer. That can be at least estimated from provincial tax rolls, which reference every property. Nor does it factor in the demands from tourism. The last time the SCRD tried to throw blame for water shortages on the citizens of the Sunshine Coast they got truly, properly and righteously roasted, and not by the sun.
