We're usually on the same page but I feel this may lead to much higher water bills as water as a commodity, becomes more of a profit center.

We already have been conditioned to buy bottled water to drink which is way more expensive than tap water. If this becomes profitable it could lead down the line to taps being closed and water deliveries to homes and apartments.

I hope I'm overreacting but we do live in the most predatory capitalist country going where profit motive always trumps everything, like the basic human need and right for clean water.
