Yes, it really is quite obscene for a government to turn an essential for basic living (water, light, heat, transport, mail ) into a commodity for exploitation/ profiteering.
How on earth were people fooled into something quite illogical:
a) Pay less
b) Get better service
c) Yet a Private company is offering this while it's existence is based on seeking profit for their shareholders

By filling up empty bottles with tap water and storing as many as possible in the shed.
