I just don’t understand the concept of charging for water. It’s like the most abundant resource on Earth…and it’s essential for life. Access to clean water and sewage is an essential infrastructure, not luxury: it should be paid for through our taxes.
@drmambobob I just finished reading “How Infrastructure Works” by Deb Chachra. She makes the same point about ALL infrastructure: it’s a public good. Shealso points out that the profit motive goes against building resiliant infrastructure.
