In my area of the country water isn't "processed". Delivery is by means of small local area wells. It is well water with one well for every couple hundred houses. Sewer system is a separate entity. It is run by the county and the gray water is used for agricultural spray irrigation.
That's why I said the water is free but you pay for the delivery system. That's the way it works in my area.
My question still remains. Is the irrigation water significantly cheaper than the drinking water in the villages?
