Yeah no kidding, that's what makes me mad.  I mean, the meter and those pipes were laid in there 42 years ago and nobody has had to lay a finger on em since. How can that possibly justify that monthly charge? |
Its' called cost of capital. However there are some conflict of interest here given that the pipe is a very diminishing marginal costs thingy.
For everything the market do bad, we can be assured that government can always make it worst.
