And as for the people who were complaining water should be free. It is, no ones stopping you from going down to the elbow with your bucket or storing rainwater on your own. On the other hand the purification, distribution systems and sanitation? Not free at all. So if you want your clean water delivered close to you and your waste water taken care of. Then yes you have to pay for it, whether it's private or public, somewhere along the line someones gotta foot the bill.

For industrial processes you require a water licence and the government has cut those off. At this point Farmers are selling their water licences to companies who are converting them for "industrial use". Make no mistake, water is, at worst, the third most valuable resource in this province.
No one is stopping you from going down to the bow river with a bucket because no one does it. If all 1.1 million calgarians started doing it, they would.
