Those examples you give are absolutely things that should be taken into account for - i.e. watering your lawn or filling your pool should be much more expensive than other uses.

Why?

For the rest of the community, it doesn't matter whether you water you fill your swimming pool or flush the toilet a few extra times. Or does it?

Because generally swimming pools, lawns etc. are an incredible waste of water for absolutely no productive reason. Like lawns are pretty much a useless thing, to which toilet flushes don't compare.
