You missed my point regarding the groundwater. My point is that the runoff from the hydrant must be treated before being released, and that treatment has a cost, which is reflected in the sewage rates.
Your other points regarding the origins of NYC water don't affect my argument: despite the apparent effortlessness of getting the water to that Bronx hydrant, said water has a price which is substantially the same in NY as in other areas like CA.
Perhaps that value is of interest when deciding whether there is any significance to spraying loads of it out through a hydrant, versus being parsimonious (i.e., "waste").
- Crito 11y agoStealing sewage services still isn't "wasting water". It's regrettable, but I think NYC can withstand the additional budgetary strain caused by kids playing with hydrants. > "despite the apparent effortlessness of getting the water to that Bronx hydrant, said water has a price which is substantially the same in NY as in other areas like CA." That's just all the more proof of Californian's absolute insanity when it comes to distributing water.
