Here we go again. I won’t deny that we are dealing with climate change.
But for the Sunshine Coast, we are mostly dealing with years of head-in-the-sand management by a string of woefully inept local governments and being constantly ignored by our provincial government. Our haphazard water management by the regional district board does not even provide us with a coast-wide water system. Some residents are washing driveways and enjoying showers, while some are saving sink water and wondering about a second cup of coffee.
In the 18 years we’ve lived here, we have seen the population grow exponentially while our water storage capability has not changed. Residents can only be asked to do so much and now the very operation of our hospital is threatened. Without expanding our storage, this scenario will only become worse in the future
