We're lucky to have clean, affordable water

To the people who think their water bills are too high: Break it down and it won't seem bad at all.
If your bill for two months is $120, that's $60 a month. That means it's $2 a day. What a bargain, when you maybe buy a bottle of water for $1 or more and think nothing of it.
You're lucky to have clean water. We haven't always had running water and some people still don't have it.
You could dig a well and pump or carry all the water you can use. Might as well just pay the bill.
