I'm a proponent of working from home (I do full-time). But does this really save much water? I still shower before work, and use the bathroom during the work day.
I suppose working from home gives people "permission" not to shower daily, so that can save a bit. But aside from letting the toilet fill with piss all day vs. having urinals flushing after every use, I'm not sure where the savings come in.
Of course the city is trying to set an example, every little bit helps, and it is better to use a carrot vs. a stick. Which answers my question - it is more about optics and encouraging others, and that's fine with me. I just see the savings being nominal, if anything, but... every little bit helps.
