They spend a few paragraphs on Cleveland, which is pretty close to the opposite of a desert city. Rebuilding the sewers is an expensive, multi-decade project here that needs to be paid for, and water treatment and pumping isn't free anywhere.
They're quite right that rising water and sewage costs are a concern here, but it would have been interesting for them to spend a little more effort and explain how the guy they mentioned accumulated $30k in debt to the water company, which is a bit extreme even for the area. (googling the guy revealed a separate story of him being foreclosed on because of taxes: https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/e-team/warrensville-heights-man-could-lose-his-home-over-25-cents https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/e-team/warrensville-heig...)
