I wasn’t talking about homeowners. I just reused the water example. In an ideal communist society, you’d still need a way to prevent people from overusing the communal resources.
If one cut out the profit motive, people may be less inclined to waste some resources. i.e. not growing unneeded food in the desert. It would not reduce some wastage due to other motivations. i.e. I won’t have access to this tomorrow, so I shall use it for non-productive usages today.
