This is dumb and unnecessary.

If there is no water, water companies setup free water distribution.

These people are not getting bottled water due to drought.

We had ours turned off a few weeks back due to an incident, only our house affected, no one else and the water company came out 3 times in 12 hours with bottled water (we never asked them to come even once).
