Sewage tax, with larger properties paying more, seems reasonable in wet countries. Just like easy legislation for storing rain water for citizens in those countries, it helps to reduce the extremes and releases stress on the sewage process.
On the other side: some sort of regulation seems reasonable in dryer areas, meaning that available water could be regulated towards priorities. The easiest way it to buy it from a few sources and regulate who gets what.
Utah (the state from the vid) seems to be using water from the Colorado river, one of the largest rivers, that is partially drying up due human water harvesting, so this actually is an issue where if too much rain water is collected, the river will not reach the coast.

However, running everything through a few sources with water rights, seems to hinder innovations that are meant to be more efficient in water consumption.


i agree, regulations depend on the region

i know a guy working for the local water supplier in hamburg and they actually complain about people using not enough water so it gets "stale" and they need to flush the pipes with fresh water
those who have plenty might as well use it
