- toomuchtodo 12y ago/u/timtadh summed it up perfectly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9198672 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9198672 "From my perspective the problem with water in the US is that no one is charged for the actual water. You are only charged for the processing costs. This means that the market never acts to regulate how much water you use. People will use less water if it costs them more."
