I'd rather have the expensive bread too, but income is a factor in these
things as well.

I live in a community of about 10K people in eastern Ohio; local
municipal run water. If you go over the 2K gallons, they bill you by
the additional thousand gallons. As long as you aren't massively
wasteful, there really isn't much motivation to save water. Sewage is
billed based on water volume. Trash pick up is included. Rates are now
up to $62/mo for the minimum. It's another $11-14 or so if you go over
the 2k gal water limit.
