Of course with a competitive private water market this would not be an issue. While giving each householder a choice of 'recycled or not' would be a bit of a challenge, smaller communities could make their own choice. Some would prefer to pay a premium for non-recycled water, and others would choose the cheaper variety. In fact poorer people could even make money by selling their rights to higher quality water to rich people. Everyone could be better off. But no - the socialist state dictates that everyone has to have the same water at the same standard. People's choices are taken away 'to make us equal'. Who'd have thought you'd be able to use economics to understand the efficient allocation of scarce resources? Wonders will never cease, pity our politicians haven't read a bit of Adam Smith, Friedman or Hayek, or even Sowell
