I pay for my water after using it based on the amount I use. Does yours shut off after you use your alotted amount or do you have a periodic adjustment? How do you know when you have used up your allotment? I can somewhat understand your point of view, however, you must realize that the water you are saving will be the water that you will have to use in the future. Otherwise, you may not have much or any to use in the future. I would say that it is possible in an emergency that water could be cut off in certain areas on a rotating basis (certain times or days) if the situation becomes dire. Or perhaps you could agree to use less and have your payment reduced if you can document your useage.
