I’m unclear how you’re linking private well houses (rural, have the money to drop a well, live off public utilities by choice) to lower income urban-ish neighborhoods. Have you ran into a lot of septic tanks and well houses in urban LA? Edit - just going to expand this to we’re talking about the consumer costs, not the price to deliver. So, low income consumers within utility systems (ie live in a city like LA) usually have subsidies for every other utility they get - water, heating, gas. It is viewed as inhumane to shut off heating in the winter, for instance. Tech industry and their enablers forced life to run through the internet, but no, that development didn’t turn the internet into a public utility… for sure. That same internet that the US govt by and and large developed and handed over to private sector later. Libertarian market-based technology politics love to forget where the industry came from in the first place, and the role it plays now in people’s lives.
