Both delivering potable water, and disposing of sewage, cost money. If you
aren't paying for it directly (I pay a water bill every 2 months, which
includes sewage based on water usage and a separate portion for trash
pickup), you're paying for it indirectly. To me, this falls under TANSTAAFL
(There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch).
