How can the provision (of water be all about money?
Depressing....

What puzzles me is that they pump water out of the ground from the
aquifers. It leaks from pipes in the ground, presumably going back to
the aquifers where it came from, and a huge fuss is made about it.
Whilest recirculating all that water might be a waste of money that
water-rate-payers could justifiably complain about, it's not obviously
a waste of water.
