For me personally, with things like this, they are trying to get people to stop drinking tap water, as it is essentially free (you still pay for it monthly as a water bill, but semantics). They want to push bottled water sales.
True that, but I can't have a well within city limits. Have to have a permit for rain barrels as well where i am. It's just more and more red tape on being independent.
Bottled water is not regulated. Municipal water systems are required to meet all State and Federal requirements.
Regulators regulate. They will continue to impose tighter and tighter restrictions on everything. That is how they justify their jobs. Before the introduction of chlorine into water systems, people commonly became sick from drinking the water. Go to a third world country, and find out for yourselves.
I wasn't talking about regulation, I was talking about money and how they are obsessed with it. Even if a well or rain barrels came into play, you would have to boil it and filter it for it to become potable. I am glad for all the innovations for us to have water on tap, but you have to understand that things are getting tighter and expensive thanks to these regulations and stuff. They don't care about the layman, just themselves.

You don't even pay for it monthly if you have well water.

I was on citybwater in vegas. We had a filtering system. That cleaned it so well we had to re add minerals, now I'm on well in FL.
You do though in electricity. Which last year was set to be double during the hours of 2-7pm
