In yester year people would build water wells on property they claimed as their own. They’d drink it straight from the ground. Then their neighbors decided to let oil companies, chemical plants, and factory farms operate on the land. The water was then no longer suitable to drink.
Bringing it closer to the conclusion, it’s costly to treat the water that we want to come out of our taps, so we’re paying for that cleaning/treatment of water.
Water isn’t free any more?
(I was told it was in the past. No water bill, how?)

It’s still free in Ireland, at least for home use.
