The problems I see are unintended consequences [0] of the policy. Perverse results could include additional environmental costs to producing and delivering fiber pills and probiotics (there would still be costs if added to the water). Unexpected drawbacks could include side effects from the fiber and probiotics delivered in this way (especially for people with unusual gut microbiomes, or defects in the production of fiber and probiotic supplements), and civil unrest from people who oppose the mandatory additions to the tap water (which may ultimately result in changes in the nation's political power).
