Water for agriculture is not the same as domestic water, they are not
comparable at all. In my case I pay a couple of hundred dollars a year for
up to 26 megalitres (about 7 million gallons US). However I have to pump it
out of the river and reticulate it which isn't cheap. This water is not
filtered or treated in any way, unlike tap water if the river stops running
there is nobody to complain to and it has nothing to do with sewers or other
services.
