Precisely - tip the balance on these costs towards consumption-based billing, and the big consumers will contribute more to overhead/infrastructure... and folks like me will see an incentive to reduce consumption (as it sits, I really don't give water usage a second thought - I make no effort to conserve. Conversely, I make an active effort to conserve power & gas, because SaskPower/Energy's model creates a direct & material financial incentive to do so).

Eh... SaskPower has put almost no effort into incentivizing less usage. A simple enactment of dynamic pricing would, but they'll never do it.
