They probably don't even pay for what they agreed to buy anyway... just like with electricity where they owe about 2 billion shekels (500 million $)
But they still get water regardless on the amount they are allow to pump, clean safe water coming from the same sources used for the rest of Israel, including the one in the article. They will have water without concerns for drought or whatever happens with the aquifer.
The thing is that this aquifer is under both Israeli and Palestinian land and therefor one affect the other. Just look at what they did in Gaza (From the article):
"Overpumping in Gaza, which causes seawater and sewage to penetrate into the aquifer, has made 90 percent of the potable water undrinkable."
It's probably best that they have a limit on drilling and pumping. Otherwise it could be really bad...
