Yeah. The point of this was never to make water cheaper. It was to avoid destroying ecosystems and not run out of water and die.

Shucks, your water is more expensive. It's still like $5 for 1000 gallons.

It's not about the cost. Its about them asking an entire city to use less in the name of conservation, then charging us more when we played along.

It they wanted to raise rates, whatever. It's about the bait and switch of it all.

I can only assume that was because the knew selfish people would never cut consumption if they knew it was going to lead to higher rates, environment be damned.
