    An asshole to whom exactly? A landlord?

    Also this is a shower thought. What’s with this moral crusade?

      To the people their arbitrage would harm because it would result in the landlord ending the free water provision. If you abuse a good thing, even the most good-natured people eventually get fed up and stop providing it, to the detriment of those who used it fairly.

      Depends. If you’re in a metropolitan city modern condo, there’s a good chance water is provided for all by the condo corp. The condo corp pays the city and adjusts the yearly budgets accordingly, which are then used to determine condo fees. So indirectly every resident pays for the water.
