Residential water prices should probably be regulated and fixed (or near-fixed).

But people don't realize that residential water use is usually a tiny fraction of the total available supply.

Just price the rest of the non-residential supply at market prices.

Yep. And at the same time, it's the residents that are asked to conserve. Meanwhile, we let data centers off the hook when it comes to conservation?

When I drive around my town, I can't drive more than a few blocks without seeing a sign about Stage 3 water restrictions. For residents. Just doesn't seem fair.
