The water bill is the only thing NOT subsidized by people who actually work.
My tagline used to be
“you have no ‘right’ that imposes an involuntary burden on another person”
Islamics bathe with oil and not water so what’s the problem?
Water, sewer or other utilities fees for service in Washington state can only be used to pay for the O&M, capital projects, and administration of the utility by law. What happens is agenies typically transfer more money for administration then is actually required, which is a big no no.
As a public works director I have fought my administrators over this practice as it creates un-nessasarily high rates. Since they are barred by law of this practice they do have authority to raise the taxes on the utility that can be used to support the general fund. Of course once they get caught by the public for paying the high cost of water and sewer they elected officials blame staff for the high rates!
But I know that the meter manufacturers are or have been developing low flow meters that only provide enough water for life, health, safety purposes. Essentially it locks the meter almost closed but will allow people to get water for drinking. As for bathing and toilet flushes it will take a while to fill the tank or tub. No water for showers, yards or other high flow needs.
and this is why i disagree with the writer that this in not their fault... it certainly is their fault...
The fruit of communists running much of our government with unions being the front (red) guard.

Liberalism is a serious brain disease and it is getting seriously worse at an accelerating pace.
All those zombie movies have a point (unknowingly). They are (unconsciously) a metaphor for the Transformation of America by the Left (and the left media, and the left educational system, and the left welfare state).
