Water Pricing

In addition to a disastrous downtown, Fresno also struggles with a strikingly unfair water pricing system, charging all users the same price per unit rather than charging high water users vastly more per unit than users who use less as they do in Santa Fe. Charging high water users more per unit is the water price equivalent of progressive taxation and makes all the sense in the world. Government should have a duty to ensure reasonably priced or free water for basic uses like showers, laundry, etc. Watering your lawn on the other hand is a luxury that you should have to pay out the nose for if you want it.
