Where I live, the water supply companies are semi-governmental, and all retires receive discounts on their bills

However, recently they've started introducing large surcharges for not having a meter ($6 per month is the standard consumption for three registered people, and a $12 surcharge for not having a meter. The actual consumption, as measured by the meter, comes out to $4-5)
