My municipality loses about 60% of its water supply due to leaks.

They buy the water from the neighboring municipality for $3/1,000 gallons, and sell it to the users of the system for $23/1,000 for the first 1,000 gallons.

Yikes! I thought I paid a lot for water, but you have me beat.

$1000 per 1000 gallons is the price in some parts of the world.

You soon realise half a gallon is plenty to drink, and you don't really need water for much else.
