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?

Are you saying that your drinking water is straight from the well to your house with no treatment whatsoever?
Oh, and I stand corrected about the cost of potable water vs irrigation water after reading WLAN56's post. Amazing to me that irrigation water cost more than potable - if that's the case, why not run potable water in the irrigation system and save the high cost?
