Back in the pre-electronic days you would not have been able to see and respond to my reply to SeaCros - should I be upset that you did?
If your water bill reveals anything at all about your personal finances then you have bigger problems than whether I can see it or not.
Is it nice to be able to compare my irrigation usage to that of my neighbors to determine if I am using too much water? Yes. Is it necessary that I be able to do that? No. Do I care if others can see how much water I use? No. Is there any personally identifiable information on my water bill? Absolutely not.
