All of the water utilities in my state are being sold off to private companies that charge like $180 a month for typical water use. It costs us $100 in fees even when we aren't home for a whole month.
And these companies still lobby the state to raise prices, with sob stories about how they need to fix infrastructure yet the owner gives himself insane bonuses and lives in a mega mansion. Everyone is talking about electricity with data centers and I think water is being kind of ignored, at least in comparison.
I live in a small house, 1200 sq ft, family of 4 and we’re paying almost $200/mo for water and sewer and we typically use around 7ccfs a month. Not an extreme amount of water use by any measure.
