Time to turn off the Kelowna development permit tap

Why are we building so many houses and…huge office towers when we already have a (water) problem?

To the editor:

In the Capital News Tuesday Sept. 11 edition, on pages A6 (SEKID Water Users Face Hefty Increases), A8 (Expert Advises Homeowners to Stop Wasting Water on Lawns) and A9 (Focus on Water), there was a lot written about the water shortages that Kelowna is going to be facing in the future, and the large expenses, if not already (a reality) now in some areas.

So why are we building so many houses and planning these huge office towers when we already have a problem? What’s the answer, (Mayor) Walter (Gray)?
