Because like other utilities, homeowners often get vastly subsidized usage. Which can be fine until it starts running out.

I would suggest to drop the subsidies, instead of bolting on extra rules.

I believe that, in the case of water, homeowners tend to pay high prices, whilst farners get incredibly low prices and businesses can usually get sweetheart deals if they are big enough.
