City of Richmond Council Chambers, 1st Floor, Richmond City hall 6911 #3 Road, Richmond, B.C. V6Y 2Cl May lS, 2015 Re: Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500, Amendment Bylaw 9201 (RZ 14-677417) 4760/4780 Fortune Avenue
Honorable Members o/Council,
Our home is adjacent to the aforementioned property. The neighbors were good neighbors, but due to their age and health, the property was sold. Before it was sold however, owner Les Bendo advised that he had received a letter from the City of Richmond expressly stating that if the duplex were demolished, a replacement duplex could NOT be built. We believe such a pre-emptive restriction is counter-productive to good neighborhood development, and may even contravene the re-zoning application progress. We are currently seeking a copy of that letter from the heirs of the estate. In the mid-1970s Council was very smart to ensure that a mixed group of homes existed in every neighborhood to prevent pockets of "ghettoization" in Richmond. As a result, our neighborhood is well balanced with bungalows, backsplits, and two level homes ranging in 2, 3, and 4 bedroom configurations, as well having as 1 and 2 car garages. In the last 5 years however, three perfectly good condition bungalows were demolished to build three "monster homes" at 10300,10211 and 10271 Freshwater. The home at 10400 Cornerbrook was demolished last week, and 4771 Hermitage slated for demolition and well as the subject property. Neighbors understand that no one has lived in one of the homes as the owners were denied entry into Canada. While no doubt these monster homes squeeze more taxes out of the neighborhood by increasing assessments, todays City Council decisions have dire social consequences as a result of their "out of control" building approval process.

What happens when Council approves building a "monster home" in a bala ~-..( nei~hborhood, is t~at increased prices and taxes hurt the vulnerable peo e I" our socIety, and bad thmgs happen to good people. . AA

ATTACHMENT 11 Summary of Proposed OCP Amendment Bylaw Development Requirements For Mixed Use Employment-Residential Development Scenarios Purpose To summarize the OCP and Area Plan amendments, if Council pursues Development Scenarios 2, 3 or 4: (1) Section 8,2,1 Character Area 1 - should be renamed from Business Office to Mixed-Use Employment-Residential in the West Cambie Area Plan. (2) Mixed-Use Employment-Residential designations and ratios should be applied to the entire 6.4 ha (15.9 ac) employment lands, not just on Westmark's 2.1 ha (5.1 ac) parcel. (3) The Mixed-Use Employment-Residential area should be further segmented into Development Blocks 1, 2, and 3 (Attachment 10) as formed by the collector and arterial road network, Each block would form Its own comprehensive planning development area required to meet the target mixed-use employment-residential ratios. Development proposals would have to demonstrate how the mixeduse targets (e.g. 60:40 or 30:70) would be met within their respective Development Blocks. Development lot assemblies forming a separate application for rezoning, should be no less than the size of Block 1, or 1.0 ha (2.47 ac), unless It constitutes the completion of that Block. (4) Mixed-Use Employment-Residential developments should limit the percentage of residential uses to a maximum of the total floor space built within each development and its respective residential FAR identified (e.g. 40% residential and max .70 FAR) in the bylaw; this would allow greater percentages of employment to be built if market improves. (5) A base density of 1.25 FAR shall continue, as per the current designation. A bonus density of up to an additional 0.5 FAR may be permitted if built affordable housing is provided. The bonus FAR must be split as per the ratios provided in the Amendment Bylaw (e.g. 40% Residential use may have a base residential FAR of 0.5 and bonus residential density of 0.2 FAR if built affordable housing is provided). The additional employment floor area must also be built, if the bonus residential area is developed, to ensure compliance with the approved ratio of employment: residential use. (6) To prevent only residential uses being developed and no employment uses, all Rezoning, Development Permit and Building Permit applications must meet the selected Development Scenario land use ratio that restricts the maximum percentage of residential floor space. (7) Development fronting along Garden City Road should be restricted to Employment and Institutional (not residential) uses only. (8) Development fronting along Odlin Road and Dubbert Street, south of Tomicki Avenue, should continue to conform to Section 8.2.3 Character Area 3 - The High Street, in the +Area Plan. (9) The maximum height of 6 storeys (25 m) should be limited to westerly portions of the Development Blocks. The height is made available to accommodate the base density of 1.25 FAR + 0.5 FAR bonus density (Max1.75 FAR) within each development block, This is to provide a transition to the City Centre to the west and to stimulate development of employment generating commercial space. (10)Minimum lot size and orphaned properties of 0.4 ha (1.0 ac) or less, should not be permitted, in order to faciittate development as antiCipated in the WCAP and not to perpetuate non-conforming uses (e.g, single detached homes). (11 )Development of Live-Work spaces should be prohibited to protect the viability of the office and commercial developments, as they are regarded as residential uses and detract from employment spaces. (12)Developers should be expected to provide at time of rezoning, a voluntary Community Amenity contribution in addition to the Local DCC's to help pay for local and city-wide amenities. 4210602
CNCL -704
CNCL - 527
-2 (13)Notwithstanding the amendments to allow residential uses within the existing Mixed Employment area identified in the WGAP, development shall be required to conform to the above restrictions in addition to the Area Plan policies, including the ANSD policies. (14)Section 9.3, Implementation Strategy the initial 2006 affordable housing requirements will be replaced by requiring that at least 5% of total maximum buildable sq. ft. of residential floor area is provided as built affordable housing units (minimum of 4 units).

Staff Report Origin
This report proposes a Smart Thermostats Pilot Program as part of City efforts to reduce energy and emissions in Richmond. This program supports Council's Term Goal #8 Sustainability: To demonstrate leadership in sustainability through continued implementation of the City's Sustainability Framework. Analysis Background Richmond's Climate Action Commitments
Richmond's 2041 OCP includes aggressive targets to reduce the community's energy use 10 per cent by 2020, and to reduce community GHG emissions 33 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050. Additionally, the City has a target to reduce energy use 10 per cent by 2020. The 2014 Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) identifies that residential buildings account for over 22 percent of Richmond's GHG emissions, and that significant energy improvements to most existing buildings are necessary for Richmond to meet the City's emissions reduction targets. Accordingly, Strategy #3 in the CEEP is to "Improve the Performance of the Existing Building Stock," and includes the following actions: • • •
Action 7: Promote building efficiency through outreach and education Action 8: Provide incentives for building retrofit action Action 9: Develop a residential energy conservation program to support housing affordability
Additionally, as a signatory to the Climate Action Charter, the City has committed to being "carbon neutral" in its corporate operations. Carbon neutrality is achieved by reducing emissions, and balancing remaining emissions with carbon credits. The Joint Provincial-UBCM Green Communities Committee has established protocols for how local governments can generate carbon balancing credits by supporting energy projects in their communities. City Action to Promote Energy Improvements
Different home energy improvement programs are available to Richmond households, through BC Hydro's PowerSmart suite of programs, FortisBC's energy programs, and other organizations. These programs will typically offer households cash incentives and rebates for adopting energy efficiency measures, as well as provide guidance on appropriate energy measures for various households depending on the equipment and construction of their home. As part of implementing the CEEP and pursuing community GHG reduction targets, the City has promoted energy conservation programs, complementing energy utilities' own outreach and
CNCL - 581
April 27, 2015

promotions. The City's efforts include operating the Richmond Building Energy Challenge, outreach at events, web and social media, and printed promotions. Moreover, the City has provided financial consumer incentives as part of some of its programs, such as the Clothes Washer Rebate Program. About Smart Thermostats
"Smart" or "learning" thermostats are a new technology that can help save energy while improving a home's comfort. Smart thermostats: • • •
Use motion sensors or other technologies to determine when users are away, and thereby "self-program" temperature setbacks to optimize energy savings Have internet connectivity Use web interfaces and user feedback to provide information and encourage better energy decision making
Smart thermostats thus differ from "programmable thermostats," which cannot self-program and typically have less interactive features. Firms currently offering smart thermostats include Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell. Studies from different jurisdictions across North America indicate that households that implement smart thermostats save an average of 11 per cent on their heating energy use; further analysis is needed to confirm savings levels that can be expected locally. Smart thermostats currently cost approximately $250 each. Assuming an 11 per cent savings on natural gas heating, City staff estimate that investing in a smart thermostat entails a 4.6 year simple payback period for the average single detached home, without any subsidy. Likewise, this average home would save approximately 3.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from entering the atmosphere, assuming a 10 year lifespan of the thermostat. Pilot Program Design
The proposed pilot program promotes the smart thermostat, in order to advance the City's climate action goals. The goals of the program are to: • • • • • •
test and demonstrate the energy and GHG savings of smart thermostats compare the performance of different smart thermostat technologies identify barriers to adoption of the thermostats evaluate opportunities for an expanded smart thermostats program determine if "carbon balancing" credits can be generated via the program, to count towards the City's carbon neutral commitments evaluate the performance of different smart thermostat products
Through the pilot program, the City will provide participants with an incentive of half the price of the thermostat. The pilot will serve a maximum of 150 Richmond participants, targeting existing ground-oriented housing (e.g. detached, attached, and/or townhousing). Participants will be recruited and pre-screened to ensure eligible housing, and then assigned households

thermostats. Disbursement of incentives will occur when Richmond participants provide proof of payment and installation of eligible thermostats, along with energy data and survey responses necessary to evaluate the pilot program. The City of Vancouver is intending to move forward with a similar program, and City staff will coordinate with Vancouver staff on an administrative level to maximize efficiencies. The following table outlines key milestones for the pilot program:

Financial Impact
This program is funded in the 2015 operating budget as part of the broader Neighbourhood Retrofit Programs initiative. Conclusion
Increasing uptake of sustainable energy improvements in existing buildings is critical to the City of Richmond meeting its climate and energy goals. This report proposes a pilot Smart Thermostat incentive program for ground-oriented homes.

Origin
In 2001, the Province of British Columbia enacted the Drinking Water Protection Act, which provided the Minister of Health with the authority to implement and enforce standards for water supply systems in British Columbia. In May 2003, regulations to be implemented under the Drinking Water Protection Act were adopted by the legislature as the Drinking Water Protection Regulation. These acts were modernized on April 29, 2014 under BillI8 - 2014: the Water Sustainability Act. This report enables the City to meet its obligations for public reporting. Analysis
The Drinking Water Protection Regulation requires water purveyors in BC to possess an operating permit, which in effect confirms that the Drinking Water Officer for the area has approved the water supply. The Drinking Water Officer is given the authority to monitor water purveyors to ensure they are providing safe drinking water through compliance with the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Regulation (BCDWPR), and any other conditions of the operating permit. Under the BCDWPR, the City of Richmond is required to: • Develop and maintain a process to notify the Medical Health Officer and the Drinking Water Officer of situations or conditions that render or could render the water unfit to drink; • Implement and maintain a plan for collecting, shipping and analyzing water samples in compliance with the direction set by the Drinking Water Officer; and 41& Implement and maintain a plan for reporting monitoring results to the Drinking Water Officer and to water users. Richmond thrives on its ability to provide water for not only Richmond Fire-Rescue in the event of a fire, but for residents and businesses seeking a glass of the world's finest tap water. To ensure a consistent supply, the capital watermain replacement program is a proactive approach to avoiding breaks and has proved to be a reliable and valuable tool in water distribution management. In 2014, Public Works staff attended to 20 watermain breaks. Repairs for a single watermain break can amount to $100,000 plus damages to private properties and service disruptions to businesses and residents. Highlights of the 2014 Annual Water Quality Report include: • Richmond residents enjoyed high-quality, reliable drinking water. • 1,993 water samples were collected to ensure water quality and passed with outstanding results. • Test results confirm high quality water and demonstrate continuous improvement. • 35.8 M cubic metres of water were purchased in 2014 compared to 36.9M cubic metres in 2013. e Richmond's tap water stations are used in many community events providing potable water to the public and promoting tap water usage

City of Richmond
2014 Annual Water Quality Report Summary In 2014, Richmond residents enjoyed high-quality and reliable drinking water. Water Services staff collected 1,993 water samples from 39 sampling sites to ensure water quality. Richmond is dedicated to promoting the value of municipal tap water, maximizing opportunities for use of tap water in municipal facilities and developing strategies for making tap water the “water of choice” in our community. How does Richmond provide high-quality tap water? By testing all 39 water quality sites on a regular basis. By continuous preventative maintenance and monitoring. By providing the water system with the highest degree of care to ensure that it’s an inhospitable environment for any harmful bacteria or toxins. By proactive watermain replacement and maintenance projects. Taking a water sample
Multi-Barrier Approach Richmond recognizes that in order to provide the highest quality water, several methods must be used to ensure its superiority – hence the “Multi-Barrier Approach”. The “Multi-Barrier Approach” includes: disinfection of the water at the source; water quality monitoring capabilities at six PRV sites; weekly microbiological testing; system operators that are certified by the Environmental Operators Certification Program of BC; employment of maintenance practices that are of the highest standard.
Water quality sampling

Project WET
Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) The HPC indicates the presence of nutrients that could facilitate the growth of harmful bacteria such as Ecoli. HPCs indicate the presence of nutrients in the water system. By reducing the HPC levels, the possibility of bacteriological re-growth is reduced. The minimal positive chlorine residual in our water also disinfects and eliminates harmful substances within our distribution system. 2014 Results Provided 35.8 million cubic metres of the highest quality drinking water to nearly 207,500 Richmond residents. Staff anticipate that this decrease from 2013 (36.9 million cubic metres) is because of the leak detection program, the water meter program, the water conservation programs and the water education offered to Richmond residents. Conducted 1,993 microbiological tests. Maintained 14 pressure reducing value (PRV) stations. Maintained 4,729 fire hydrants to ensure water is available during an emergency. Repaired 20 watermain breaks without compromising the integrity of the water distribution system. Discovered and repaired 44 non-visible underground leaks through Richmond’s leak detection program. Hosted over 300 students from Richmond elementary schools as part of the annual educational program: Project WET. Summary Richmond residents will continue to enjoy drinking water that is fresh, reliable and of high‑quality. It is without a doubt that the City of Richmond consistently excels at providing tap water of excellent quality, and Richmond does all this for a cost that is 1,000 times less than the price of one litre of bottled water.

CNCL - 593 2014 City of Richmond Annual Water Quality Report
Introduction In 2002, the City of Richmond implemented a Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Program. This program was developed with input from the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and is in accordance with the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Act (BCDWPA), the Water Quality Monitoring and Reporting Plan for Metro Vancouver and member municipalities and the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ). The Vancouver Coastal Health Authority requires the City of Richmond to provide the Annual Drinking Water Quality Report so that Richmond can maintain its operating permit. Richmond’s Medical Health Officer reviews the report and upon request, the report is made public. It provides important information concerning Richmond’s water distribution system and water quality.
•
Water leads to overall greater health by flushing out wastes and bacteria that can cause health problems and is the primary mode of transportation for all nutrients in the body and is essential for proper circulation.
The conditions set out in the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Act (BCDWPA) require that all water systems in BC be classified as a Level I through IV facility. Richmond’s system is classified as a Level III facility so all staff are responsible for possessing a valid Level I to Level III Equipment Operators Certification Program (EOCP) certificate. To obtain and maintain a level of certification, staff successfully complete the annual training. This is done to ensure that staff are able to respond appropriately and immediately to problems prior to becoming a risk to health or property. As a water purveyor, Richmond complies with provincial legislation, including the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Act (BCDWPA), and the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Regulations (BCDWPR). Information is also compared to the federal Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ). Under these various pieces of legislation the City of Richmond is required to: develop a process to notify the Medical Health Officer of any condition that could render unsafe drinking water; implement a sampling program that adequately represents all areas within the City; meet the requirements of the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Act (BCDWPA), and ensure test results are immediately available to the Medical Health Officer; receive an annual construction permit for the construction, installation and extension of the water distribution system; ensure that the City's water distribution system is classified under the criteria for the Environmental Operators Certification Program (EOCP) and that Water Services staff are certified to the same level as the distribution system; produce an annual public report detailing the results of the City’s water quality monitoring program.

Metro Vancouver Water District Today, around 3,800 cubic kilometres of fresh water is withdrawn annually from the world's lakes, rivers and aquifers. This is twice the volume extracted 50 years ago.
In 2014, the City of Richmond purchased 35.8 million cubic metres of drinking water from the Metro Vancouver Water District. Staff anticipate that this decrease from 2013 (36.9 million cubic metres) is because of the leak detection program, the water meter program, the water conservation programs and the water education offered to Richmond residents.

Year Three watersheds supply regional water: Capilano Reservoir, Seymour Reservoir, and Coquitlam Reservoir. The Capilano and Seymour reservoirs combined, supply approximately 70% of the water for the region. The Coquitlam Reservoir supplies the remaining approximate 30%. Richmond receives the majority of its water from the Capilano and Seymour reservoirs. Water from these reservoirs can be directed through a series of valves and transmission watermains to any city or municipality within the Metro Vancouver region. Source water is provided directly from the watersheds by Metro Vancouver. Source water is tested for a number of microbiological, chemical, and physical parameters.

During periods of turbidity (cloudy water), a reservoir may be taken out of service if turbidity levels become elevated. Water is then supplied by the remaining reservoirs. The plant has the capacity to filter up to 1.8 billion litres of water per day.
A leaking service line or pipe in your home can add up to serious water waste. A small hole in a pipe (1.5 mm) wastes 280,000 litres of water in a three-month period. That is enough water to do about 900 loads of laundry.

Water Distribution System Overview You should replace your old toilet with a high efficiency 4.8 lpf model (HET), or a dual 3/6 lpf model. Older models can use as much as 13 to 26 litres of water per flush. The City of Richmond’s Toilet Rebate Program is a great incentive to promote water conservation.
The City of Richmond's water distribution system begins at 14 separate connection points along Metro Vancouver's transmission mains. At each connection point there is a City owned pressure reducing valve (PRV) chamber. The City's responsibility for water quality begins at this chamber and ends at the residential or commercial property line. Table 1 – Overview of Richmond’s Water Distribution Network Water Assets

Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) The Water Services section maintains 14 pressure reducing valve (PRV) stations throughout Richmond. PRV stations decrease the pressure of Metro Vancouver’s water feed to one that is manageable for Richmond’s water distribution system. The stations are connected to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system that provides information to the Works Yard such as water pressure, quality and volume. This allows for certified Water Services staff to react to problems quickly and effectively 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The addition of chlorine to our drinking water has greatly reduced the risk of waterborne diseases.

Month The graph above indicates the monthly water consumption in Richmond. It is estimated that most municipalities in North America lose anywhere from 12% to 15% of their potable water to undiscovered, underground leakage. The Water Loss Management Program allows City Engineering and Water Services staff to determine the total amount of water consumed through normal operational programs and practices such as single-family residential, multi-family residential and commercial metering programs. While combining these programs with watermain flushing, parks and median irrigation, and Richmond Fire Rescue water usage, it is reasonable to assume that the unidentified portion of the annual water consumption is attributed to water loss within the distribution system.

Water Quality Monitoring A single lawn sprinkler spraying 19 litres per minute uses more water in just one hour than a combination of 10 toilet flushes, two 5-minute showers, two dishwasher loads, and a full load of clothes.
In 2014, the City of Richmond collected samples on a weekly basis at 39 dedicated sampling sites. These sites are strategically located throughout the City to give a good representation of the City’s water quality across the distribution network. In 2014, 1,993 water samples were collected by Richmond Water Services staff and sent for analysis at Metro Vancouver laboratories. These sample results were reviewed by the Vancouver and Richmond Coastal Health Authority to ensure the drinking water met the standards outlined in the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Regulations (BCDWPR).

Bacteriological Tests The City of Richmond and Metro Vancouver conduct bacteriological tests for total coliform, fecal coliform and heterotrophic plate counts (HPC). The presence of these organisms in drinking water indicates that the water may be contaminated and may contain potentially harmful bacteria, viruses or parasites. Multi-Barrier Approach Richmond recognizes that in order to provide the highest quality water, several methods must be used to ensure its superiority. The “Multi-Barrier Approach” includes: disinfection of the water at the source; water quality monitoring capabilities at six PRV sites; weekly microbiological testing; system operators that are certified by the Environmental Operators Certification Program (EOCP) of BC; employment of maintenance practices that are of the highest standard.
Tap water costs $.0008 cents per litre or $0.80 per 1,000 litres. Bottled water is $2-4 per litre depending on the point of purchase. In fact, bottled water is more expensive per volume than gasoline.
Total Coliforms Total coliform bacteria reproduce in water, soil or digestive systems of animals. The presence of total coliforms indicates water may have been contaminated and that the disinfection process is inadequate.

While 78% of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a few hours or a day, only 50% would fix a leaky faucet within the same timeframe.
Testing setup
In distribution systems where more than 10 samples are collected in a given sampling period, as is the case in Richmond, no consecutive samples from the same site or no more than 10% of samples should show the presence of total coliform bacteria. Testing for total coliforms should be carried out in all drinking water systems. The number, frequency and location of samples for total coliform testing will vary according to the type and size of the system and jurisdictional requirements. Provincial standards state that no sample can contain more than 10 total coliforms per 100 millilitres, and that 90 percent of samples in a 30-day period must have zero coliform organisms. Fecal Coliforms Fecal coliforms are present in large numbers in the feces and intestinal tracts of humans and other warm-blooded animals, and can enter water bodies from human and animal waste. They are key indicators of sewage contamination. Due to diseases and parasites, which are spread through sewage, provincial standards state there can be no detectable fecal coliforms per 100 ml sample. 2014 Results In 2014, 1,993 water samples were collected by City staff and analyzed by Metro Vancouver laboratory staff. All final results met drinking water requirements for fecal and total coliforms. The City of Richmond was in compliance with British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Regulations (BCDWPR) for bacteria in 2014.
Samples from each testing site
Heterotrophic Plate Count Heterotrophic Plate Counts (HPC) tests measure aerobic heterotrophic bacteria. This test indicates the presence of nutrients that could facilitate the growth of harmful bacteria such as Ecoli, and in determines changes in water quality during treatment and distribution. HPC tests indicate the onset of bacterial re-growth within the distribution system commonly due to stagnant water contained in dead end and low flow watermains. By reducing the HPC levels, the possibility of bacteriological re-growth is essentially reduced because the pipes are an inhospitable environment for bacteria to grow. The minimal amount of positive chlorine residual in our water also disinfects and eliminates harmful substances within our distribution system. In 2014, none of the 1,993 samples exceeded regulated levels for HPC’s at >500 CFU/mls. Failed Samples The standard response to a failed water sample is: re-sample at the site; flush the watermain extensively; re-sample; the watermain is then isolated to one feed until test results confirm compliance with the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Regulations (BCDWPR).

2014 City of Richmond Annual Water Quality Report
Physical Parameters Water in Richmond’s distribution system is tested for the physical parameters of turbidity and temperature at the same time as bacteriological testing. Information is also collected on the taste and odour of Richmond’s water by actively tracking water quality complaints. Turbidity Metro Vancouver is responsible for the quality of Richmond’s source water. Turbidity is a measure of water clarity and cloudiness. Turbidity is measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). The guideline allows for turbidity levels up to 5 NTUs providing that source water protection, monitoring, and water treatment requirements are met including increased levels of residual chlorine. Turbidity is a concern because increased turbidity compromises the drinking water disinfection process. In general, sites with elevated turbidity are located in sections of the distribution network where there is low demand on the water system or where dead-end watermains exist. The increase may be attributed to sediment disturbance in the distribution system. During the year, when sampling indicates a turbidity level greater than >5 NTU’s, affected watermains in the test area are flushed, and re-tested until a satisfactory result is obtained. Temperature High temperatures in the distribution system can affect the residual level of chlorine and can contribute to bacterial re-growth. Typically, the temperature of drinking water in the distribution system rises during summer months. Samples exceeded the aesthetic guideline of 15°C 85 times out of 1,993 some with temperatures as high as 20°C were recorded. The majority of these elevated temperatures were recorded during the summer months.
Lawns need only 25 millimetres of water per week, including rain. Longer, infrequent watering will help to develop deeper, healthier roots. Keep your grass two to two and half inches high and you will help the soil retain moisture and reduce evaporation from sunlight and wind.
Turbidity chart
Taste and Odour Taste and odour are only monitored in response to customer complaints. Records indicate that nine complaints were received regarding taste and two complaints were received regarding odour in 2014. These complaints generally relate to high levels of residual chlorine in that part of the system at that particular time. Residents who complained about taste or odour problems were advised to flush their internal system. If the problem was not resolved, Water Services staff were dispatched to the location until a satisfactory result was obtained and verified through laboratory analysis. Chemical Parameters The City of Richmond, in partnership with Metro Vancouver, tests for the following chemical parameters: chlorine residual, trihalomethanes (THM), haloacetic acids (HAA), and pH. Periodic testing is also performed to determine heavy metals levels in the water system.

Worldwide, there are 1.1 billion people (18%) of the world’s population who lack access to safe drinking water.
Testing the sample
Free Chlorine Residual Chlorine residual is a measurement of the disinfecting agent remaining in the distribution system at the point of delivery to the customer. Ensuring proper levels of chlorine in the distribution system is essential in protecting Richmond’s water supply from bacteriological contamination or re-growth. In recent years, the City has made great progress in improving chlorine residuals by implementing various flushing programs. Disinfection By-Products Disinfection by-products are potentially harmful compounds produced by the reaction of a water disinfectant (such as chlorine or ozone) with naturally occurring organic matter in water. Two common chlorination by-products are Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic Acids (HAAs). In drinking water, THMs can enter the human body via multiple routes of exposure. These include ingestion by consuming water and inhalation and skin absorption from showering and bathing. Under the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ), the maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) for THMs is 100 parts per billion (ppb). The 100 ppb level for THMs is based on an annual average of samples. High levels on a particular day are not of concern unless they are consistently high over a period of time. Typically, THM levels will be highest in the summer and lowest in the winter months. Futhermore, under the GCDWD, the maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) for HAAs is 0.08 mg/L. In 2014, the City utilized the Metro Vancouver laboratory to perform quarterly tests for HAAs and THMs. These were carried out at representative sampling sites in accordance with a joint Metro Vancouver/Richmond monitoring plan. In 2014, all results were within acceptable levels as defined in the GCDWQ. (Appendix 5) The pH Value The measurement of acidity is known as pH. A pH below 7.0 is considered acidic, above 7.0 is considered basic, with 7.0 being neutral. It is recognized that acidic water will accelerate the corrosion of metal pipes, often causing blue-green staining in household fixtures. The Seymour-Capilano filtration plant includes pH adjustment and corrosion control in its treatment processes. Metals The City’s water quality program also includes testing for metals, such as copper, iron, lead, and zinc. All results were within GCDWQ limits for 2014. Complete test results are included in Appendix 6.

Only three in 10 (27%) British Columbians say they don't use their toilet as a convenient garbage bin. Hair, food and dead pests are the most common items being flushed. Do not use the toilet as a garbage can. Tissues and other items are often flushed away instead of going into appropriate disposal containers. Unnecessary flushing of the toilet even once a day can waste up to 1,000 litres of water per year.

Water Conservation Programs The City of Richmond continues to succeed in reducing annual water consumption despite a growing population. Since 2010, population has grown by 5% and overall water consumption has decreased by 4%. This equates to a total annual savings of over $900,000. This can be explained by corporate and community wide initiatives including water metering, pressure management, the toilet rebate program and the City’s leak reduction program. Reduction of water system pressure in lower demand periods such as the winter season extends water infrastructure service life and also reduces system water loss. In 2014, a facility water audit was completed on 10 City owned buildings; this report identified potential water conservation initiatives such as replacement of constant flush urinals, high volume toilets and showerheads, reduction of toilet flush cycle times, and installation of faucet aerators. Staff have initiated installation of the recommended conservation measures in 2015. The leak reduction program also identifies multi-family properties with high water use and has a goal of significantly reducing the total amount of water lost at these properties.
The City of Richmond rain barrel program continues to assist residents by reducing the amount of water used for irrigation during the summer months.
Measuring the psi
Universal Single-Family Water Meter Program The universal single-family water meter program is in progress and will be completed in four years. Advanced notification is provided to flat rate customers prior to meter installation. Water meters are a fair and equitable way of charging residents for water and will reduce the overall water consumption throughout the City. Multi-Family Water Meter Program The volunteer multi-family water meter program allows residents to pay for the actual amount of water they use, rather than being billed on the flat-rate system. To date, 130 multi-family complexes have been completed, comprising of 8,128 units.

Freshwater lakes and rivers, ice and snow, and underground aquifers hold only 2.5% of the world's water. By comparison, saltwater oceans and seas contain 97.5% of the world's water supply.
Toilet Rebate Program The City of Richmond’s Toilet Rebate Program provides a utility account rebate of $100 to homeowners who install a low-flush toilet. Single and multi-family homeowners are eligible to apply for a lifetime maximum of two rebates per household. Industrial, commercial and other non-residential properties are not eligible at this time. The purpose of the toilet rebate program is to encourage homeowners to replace high volume toilets with low-flush toilets to conserve water and to reduce costs. Homeowners enjoy a reduction in their utility bill while contributing to a sustainable water conservation initiative. In 2014, there were 849 rebates submitted. Clothes Washer Rebate Program Through a partnership program with BC Hydro, residents could receive a rebate of up to $200, equally cost shared between BC Hydro and the City of Richmond for the replacement of an inefficient clothes washer with a new high efficiency one. The clothes washer rebate program encourages homeowners to conserve water and energy. Rain Barrel Rain barrels are excellent outdoor water-saving devices that collect and store rainwater from rooftops for lawn and garden use. Rain water is an excellent water source for lawns, plants and gardens. For water metered households, using rainwater will reduce the amount of tap water used for your garden therefore decreasing the utility bill. Rain barrels are available for purchase at the City's Recycling Depot by Richmond residents only. Installation instructions are included. In 2014, 89 rain barrels were sold.

About 70% of the earth is covered in water.
Tap Water Initiative In 2010, Metro Vancouver initiated its tap water campaign. The intent of this initiative is to encourage tap water consumption by the public and highlight public drinking fountains so that the public can refill water bottles or simply get a drink of water. On April 14, 2009 Mayor Malcolm Brodie endorsed this campaign indicating that the City of Richmond is dedicated to promoting the value of municipal tap water, maximizing opportunities for use of tap water in municipal facilities and developing strategies for making tap water the “water of choice”. To support this initiative, Richmond’s Water Services section is proud to maintain several tap water stations that are used at numerous community events to provide the public with potable tap water and to promote tap water usage as an alternative to bottled water consumption. Samples are tested upon installation ensuring good quality water for the public to enjoy.

Public Works Open House The Water Services section plays a large role in the annual Public Works Open House that takes place in May. This is an opportunity for staff to show residents some of the critical services that are provided such as maintaining our infrastructure. Likewise, staff showcase the work that is done on a daily basis to ensure the safety and health of the community. This event draws attention to the importance of public works in community life. “H2Whoa!” Theatrical Presentation by DreamRider Productions The City of Richmond Water Services section organized “H2Whoa!” theatrical presentations at Richmond elementary schools. “H2Whoa!” teaches students in grades K-7 all about water, the water cycle and water conservation. The focus of this presentation is on positive actions and educating family and friends on the use of water, the need to protect it and its importance to everyday living. In addition, at the request of the City of Richmond Water Services, information regarding Richmond’s high quality and very drinkable tap water was included in the script. In 2014, 15 Richmond elementary schools viewed the educational production.
