But think about all those guests that aren't going to be using the water. It's been six weeks without rain and Friday's forecast 5mm won't do anything to help.....so we're probably looking at running out by late July. Maybe this will delay that until August. Maybe.
But they'll hopefully have the road repaired by then, so we'll be able to truck in whatever water we need. Maybe.
We might not run out of water at all, this year. Maybe.
All the "water" challenges are tough choices. Council will take no action to address the issue. No maybe about that.
So everything will probably be alright. So long as council votes down this latest private development housing proposal, because "there's no water". Don't be surprised.
I agree with your"council will take no action to address the issue", re water, but if Council votes down this latest private development housing proposal none of them will get re-elected again. Mark my words, you heard it here first.
Better put out buckets tonight to collect the coming tiny rainfall so you will still be able to flush your toilet after the town runs out. First of course you will use it for personal sanitation instead of a shower. Maybe stock up on deodorant and air fresheners too. The highway closure is just a delay on the inevitably coming town shutdown because of a lack of water to service all the tourists. Anyone know if the fish plant is working?
Gameshow Gord will be in the area soon for his summer break. Pretty sure he will be able to use his minority powers to establish a Water Plan for Tofino. The feds can cut cheques for $500, payable to all who come to the area. It will help to buy cardboard water box thingies.
Feds and Province being lobbied to support poor resort operators whose business is down for what????? ten days, two weeks? The sky is falling!!!! lobbying the municipality for relief from taxes as well What do they do when residents pack up and leave cause they can't afford to live here.... cannot even find a place to live, after being ejected in favour of some VR by some owner who doesn.t even live here. Oh ya, it's rugged individualism for the little guy and socialism for the wealthy business owners..... Fires and drought you say?..... the place has been a dumpster fire for years. Peoples lives gutted. Give em a kick in the backside as they leave. And your Fed quy, your Provincial queen and local bumpkins can't figure it out.
Inconvenient, and worse than that, for some.
