I mean it was, just not for me. It was a townhome in a row of connected townhomes with an HOA. Water was paid by the HOA, and an estimate was budgeted into the HOA fee, which was passed on to me through rent. The point is that what I paid was not affected by my usage.
Not for me though. Using no water at all would not have decreased my payment. Using 10x as much as normal would not have increased my payment. I did not have the option to opt out of or reduce the HOA fee.
Functionally, that’s “free”, so far as it affects usage habits. Kinda like universal healthcare, “free” at point of service.
Where is water not metered??

Right so the water was meteted and being paid for–it wasn’t free.

Whatever you say bud.
The same thing I’ve said from the beginning?
If you’re on a well, it’s just a small electrical expenditure
If you’re not, it’s just a small water bill expenditure. None of which are free.
