  That's like saying it's fine for the Kardashians to use as much water as a whole city during a drought, because they pay for it.

    Eh, idk. Depends on the cost structure I guess. What if their (collective, with other similar users) excessive use is charged at a rate that makes it easier to fund the public infrastructure that benefits everyone?

    At least in San Antonio, the utility charges a higher rate above a certain threshold.
