and water is part of city tax here, one fee. not measured and not paid by volume

Interesting. What is the incentive to not waste water then? Here if you waste it, you pay for it.

We have a brand new house with a heat pump, but we heated almost all winter with wood from our property, we have 5 acres. Our fireplace is really cool, it has a separate air intake outside the house so it doesn't pull in and waste the heated air, and it allows it to burn very hot/clean, you can't even see the smoke coming out of the chimney once the fire is hot.

there is no incentive, do as i please pretty much. my heat pump cools and heat also, only when under 12C.

i can waste water....lol

ohh , i also have awood stove for those winter power outs.....only for power outs, can be fined if used for leisure.

It seems like Canada if pretty progressive, I find it surprising they would not monitor how much water people use.

They have a few no burn days a year when the air is really bad, otherwise you can do what you want. I don't live in the city limits so it's voluntary anyway.

my wood stove is awesome, during ice storm 98, lost power for 3 weeks straight....good thing i got a gaz water heater......the stove was on non stop and i got too used that i actually laid my hand on it, i could hear my hand sizzle, i ran out to the snow.
