Hi,
My housing community (about 300 houses) uses a community water system.
It's a flat rate, no meter system. Some people abuse it (running
sprinklers and hoses continually), while others are probably seldom home
and use very little. It all averages out over time.

Most everyone here has been in this business long enough to see the

consumers as well as product developers can easily consume as much

money and consumers are having fun this cycle will continue forever.
Introduce a cost factor and the process will regulate it's self.
Imagine a municipal water system with no usage fee. Developers would
create, among other things, hydroelectric generators for your faucet.
Attach these devices, turn the water on full blast, and power you're
appliances at the water utilities expense. Water consumption would go
thru the roof and you could fire the power company. How is that
different than having your ISP deliver Video content so you can fire
your Cable or Satellite Company.
