Seems the concern is that if the increase continues to trend we're in trouble and we're essentially right at the line and trending the wrong way, but maybe just say we need to double down and bend the curve (   ) then? |
The target number has been around 500million litres a day this whole time. That hasn’t really changed.
So if when we hit 420, the mayor says feel free to increase water use 20% the target is 500 we’d use 600 the next day. If you continue to use highly alarmist language you burn people out. It’s a prisoners dilemma type situation as soon as you say that.
So I don’t mind today’s message. We are currently at the sustainable target, you need to do better is the correct message because of the natural slippage that occurs.
I also didn’t mind last weeks more positive message of we are hitting targets keep it up when we were in the 440s.
I think regardless of messaging we’d be here critiquing messaging.
