Right, and the point of a water ration is to ensure that everybody limits their water use to some prescribed amount.
What you and the OP are describing is arguably a bug, not a feature.
The point of contention here is not of price economics per se, but of politics. At issue is whether or not one should be able to circumvent a ration by virtue of his monetary resources. Some people (including myself) find this notion distasteful.
