My tap water comes from ancient underground aquifers. While I realize it's not sustainable for centuries, for now we have pretty damn good municipal water. The only thing is slightly high, naturally occurring arsenic levels, which I filter out, but it's probably not necessary.
Nonetheless, people here complain about our water like it's Flint, MI. and buy bottled water?
My water/sewer bill is $50/mo. for two people. Some of my neighbors are paying hundreds a month. I don't know what they're doing with their water, but it's a choice they're making, my bill is proof.
It's sustainable until the Saudis learn about your cheap water and buy the whole system for pennies on the dollar so they can grow alfalfa for their racehorses. This is what's happening to my (currently cheap) water authority.
Funny thing is, bottled water has extremely high levels of microplastics.
