I thought Neal St. Anthony's column today was particularly interesting.
Rather than another round of bashing RT and Council over Gaviidae, he
instead wrote about northeast Minneapolis company, Water Monitor Inc., which
has come out with a line of measurement devices that allow water use to be
measured in individual apartments.

Being the resource conservation geek that I am, I'm curious if any local
owners of apartment buildings are taking advantage of this nifty technology
and if there are any success stories that can be shared.  St. Anthony
reports that Water Monitor Inc. is discussing a pilot project with the
Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, in which case, I would strongly
encourage MPHA to go forth with this!

Apparently, this technology is such a no-brainer that even the Bush
administration seeks to offer a tax credit for those who install the
devices.  Wow!
