will they indeed?

i wonder why it is then that nobody would be able to collate how many litres 
people are storing in dams, etc; and nobody wants to, and nobody is trying 
to. a few poxy town water tanks wouldn't be worth the bother, compared to 
charging for people's stored dam water.

of course, common sense and conspiracy theories don't usually match.

what a strange thing to say. you are charged for connection & supply because 
nothing has changed - you still have connection & supply. you are charged 
the same amount of usage as usual for the water that you use. when you turn 
on the tap, water comes out (at a very cheap price), same as ever. what's 
the problem?

nobody in australia pays "top price" for water. water is even more 
undervalued than petrol is. the price of town water will go up, for sure, 
because it's being undercharged compared to its value.

undoubtedly, when the price goes up, there will be a cacophony of whingeing 
from conspiracy theorists (and generally greedy people who think communal 
problems are supposed to be dealt with by everyone else, not them).

you're not wrong there, but i think you're looking at the wrong thing.
