Vancouver currently meters water usage in apartment buildings, and requires meters to be installed on all new builds and in renovations.

Most of the city’s residents, however, pay a flat rate for water usage.

Councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung said that system does not encourage people to conserve water.

Last year , the provincial government earmarked $50 million for water metering pilot projects.
