>I don't pay the water company based on how wide the pipe is

Eh, this isn't true in most places.

You pay a flat rate since you most likely have a 1"-1 1/2" pipe ran to your residence. Even if you cut the pipe off after the meter and let it run full blast you can only burn up a relatively limited amount of water (compared to what the system can carry). If you have a much larger line it is highly likely that your contract has usage conditions.

True.

But the water company should not bill me differently if I choose to water tomatoes, but not chillies.

Eh, oddly enough, they possibly could. Water usage and restriction laws are weird.
