A "simple" solution would be to use a system like we do for our taxes where the first X amount is completely subsidized, the next Y amount is less subsidized, the next Z amount is even less subsidized, etc...
- tinco 11y agoExactly. And then just make these tiers be per occupant, and perhaps per square feet of land area if you're feeling generous. It can just be two tiers too. Either you're within the limits of what seems acceptable to a person living on a certain amount of land, or you're not.

The current price for water service in San Francisco is $5.45 for 748 gallons or less than one cent per gallon. If they tripled the meter price for everyone the poor could still afford everything they need to shower, drink and cook. Only very heavy users would be affected.
