well you know, we gotta keep non violent drug offenders in jail, if we didn't the prison population would drop and how would those prisons make any money? it's the same thing with water/sewer services. the cities are making money on it, yes actually profiting. why else did we get duped into buying high efficiency washing machines and dishwashers, because we were all trying to save water, but in t he process the cities started losing revenue from water consumption going down and now they raise their rates for water and sewer....
