        At this point city could install them everywhere and fund from taxes

        It was.

        I’m paying about C$50/ year for an under-the-sink cold water inlet filter. It’s not a subscription, but that’s roughly how often I need to replace the filter. So $2/mo isn’t that bad.

          Jesus, how much water do you drink?

          I hope you’re aware that it’s possible to drink too much water and die from it…

            Family of four. But I also use it to water the garden due to no other faucet near.

              You use filtered water to… water the garden?.. At this point you could use your blood to water the garden.

              Not saying that you shouldn’t water garden at all, because garden is good, garden is food.

                Well, it’s an under-sink inlet attached filter, so the pressure throughput is the same as if you were to use a regular faucet.

                    For drinking? Yes, the water stops tasting like chlorine and iron. It also filters lead, fluoride and other unvanted elements. Simple carbon filter I believe.

                    Not sure it makes any difference for the back yard though.

          Surely their price is considerably low, but given the limited locations where people can actually get access to the water, it is not that cheap. Imagine waiting in line with your mobile phone and your cup to get a little sap. You would want a huge water tank to cut down the frequency of fetching water. Good for motorhome users though.
