    We pay like 20 USD per month for 24L water dispenser things of drinking water, delivered straight to the front door. Not ideal, but not a disaster on its own.

    My entire country is built on individual little compromises that add up to a disaster. So much of my daily concerns are just worrying about the water supply. Who needs bullshit culture war nonsense when your populace is busy stealing their neighbors’ water in the dead of night for the decadent criminal luxury of not smelling like shit over Christmas lunch?

    Fixing the water network is extraordinarily expensive and won’t enrich the twenty odd feudal lords who stand to profit from it so it’s not happening soon.

      My heart goes out to you. I was recently in Peru, and the water system was the same. Bottled water was very cheap, about 1 USD/Liter.

      The alternative is a complete infrastructure revitalization, which takes a lot of time and money.

      the only way around it was to underfill the salt tank and inshallah.
