Hahaha seriously?! Thanks for the laugh, that was a good one.
But really, where are you talking about? Because even affluent countries still charge for water. There’s a definite cost to purifying and maintaining a clean water supply.
Water is free in every pub and restaurant. There are free water refill stations in most train stations and malls. There are plenty of water fountains in the parks and on the streets. And then you have 20 cubic metres abstraction allowance per day https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-need-a-licence-to-abstract-water Considering that the average person in Britain uses around 150 litres per day, 20 bloody tons per day is more than enough. You only pay for convenience if you want. Water is free otherwise.
Truly a world traveler. You’re right, why don’t the peoples on reservation land just go down to the local mall and fill up at the bottle station? So obvious!
I, too, have lived in all of the world’s 195 countries and can say with authority that none of them, not a single one, doesn’t offer free water in their pubs. Not even pubs in places like Saudi Arabia. You can go into any pub there, even if you’re a woman and get free water.

Drinking water is free and is available to everyone. The post makes no sense.

It’s someone that doesn’t know what utility bills are…
Like, I don’t think any country has free potable water. But the bill is so small it’s not something a parent wouldn’t complain about.
So they just assume that it’s free
Norway has free water for everyone. Completely free, no questions asked. Private households don’t even have water meters.

Wow I didn’t realize the entire world was the UK.
I used to live elsewhere before and water was free as well.

Flint, Michigan, Erin Brockovich, a shocking number of tribespeople from the Amazon, and the CEO of Nestle would all like a word with you.

You should step out of your bubble more often before getting angry about others’ situations.
Apparently you don’t even pay a water bill?
