In yester year people would build water wells on property they claimed as their own. They’d drink it straight from the ground. Then their neighbors decided to let oil companies, chemical plants, and factory farms operate on the land. The water was then no longer suitable to drink.
Bringing it closer to the conclusion, it’s costly to treat the water that we want to come out of our taps, so we’re paying for that cleaning/treatment of water.
I pay over a thousand dollars per year for water in canada.
The water in town would not be safe to consume without treatment (lots of heavy industry here) and it’s nice to know that my toilet flows somewhere else
Water isn’t free any more?
(I was told it was in the past. No water bill, how?)

It’s still free in Ireland, at least for home use.
Canadians dont pay for water still.
Our ‘hydro’ bill is electricity, due to it coming from hydro electric dams
