Foothills County, Okotoks, et al are all facing the same problems.
Those who say residential development will simply move to Airdrie or Rockyview County have no idea what development constraints those jurisdictions are facing.

My assumption has been that those city of calgary regional towns/cities would eventually need to buy water or licenses from Calgary, making the 3M city of calgary water licence more of a 3M region of calgary water licence.
