It honestly makes a ton more sense for water runoff to be taxed related to the cost to run the stormwater system, than how much water we use. Land owners with huge swaths of asphalt pour hundreds of thousands of litres into the wastewater system, despite using little water, while my house has a rain garden, permeable water runoff and a rain barrel. We probably put a few litres a year into the system. Despite that we don't pay substantially less, makes no sense.
