    Yes it is, who is gonna maintain the infrastructure for you to get water if you don’t pay for it? Who is gonna make sure the water treatment facilty works if you don’t pay for it?

    How do you ensure you only pay for what you use and not pay for the cunt who runs the shower while taking a shit?

      That last bit is something that bothers me. My apartment used to pay water, sewer, garbage but years ago they shifted that to the tenants. We don’t have individual meters so our bill is divided up between units and the number of people in the unit (supposedly… Our bills are administered by a third party. I can’t even pay my bill directly to the utility companies)

      I try to conserve water (or anything else, but I’m focusing on the water). I don’t like waste. But fuck it, if I’m paying for OTHER PEOPLE’S water usage I sure as shit will make sure I get my money’s worth. But if everyone has that mindset, our bills collectively go up. Oh well
