Man Kyle really gingriched the OP

No, the logical solution would be public ownership of water supplies so that you're not lining the pockets of a few rich assholes in the process for eternity. There's no need for profit in water distribution. Charging anything at all would have the same effect as described, but public ownership would be cheaper and "profit" could be invested back into maintenance, upgrades, and expansion of distribution systems.

My Bulgarian coworker was a font of Slavic wisdom, including his creed of "Life is short and hard, work donkey" and advice on how to choose a wife (he himself was making moves on a woman he referred to as a "third-hand cart," the charmer).

Do you have any more wisdom from Bulgaria for me? It seems like a pretty great place since he'd fly back every year

So your solution is to privatize a public resource to cause private profit in perpetuum instead of public, centralized price and resource control at cost to benefit everybody?

I don't know what kind of idiot or fanatic you'd have to be to think that it is in any way a good thing to give a private, for profit entity indefinite control over distribution of a resource that literally everybody needs or they will die.

Also, why did your estate order a cease and desist on House of Cosbys, arguably one of the most important animated features of our time?
