Because that shouldn't be charged after the fact, ideally it should be priced into the water prices as consumers purchase it.

- patejam 9y agoThat's assuming pricing scales linearly. More likely, it takes a flat-ish $x to maintain the infrastructure, and the reduced usage means they can't reach that minimum $x threshold.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoTo not charge it after the fact, you’d have to recoup costs much faster in the earlier years of the system existence, causing crushing water bills to exist. It’s not a policy issue, it’s an education issue.
