 So, what is so wrong about using water meters and having residents pay 
 for the amount they use? We waste incredible amounts of water, 
 resulting in water shortages and rationing. The best way would be to 
 charge a low amount for basic usage, the escalating for moderate and 
 then higher amounts for excessive use. Those who use less will pay 
 less than they currently do, those who use a moderate amount will 
 likely pay about the same and water wasters will pay what they 
 deserve, which will hopefully mean they will cut back 
  
 Remember we pay to pump the water to people's homes and pay again to 
 treat it when it is pumped back out. The less that is used, the lower 
 the overall costs. If we don't cut back, we will have to pay through 
 the nose for increasing capacity.
