Put an old-fashioned water pump every 3 blocks or so. Give everyone a bucket. Free water. You pump it and haul it, you can have it for free. Anyone who pays can have it pumped to their home or apt. Simple solution.
Sounds like the whites are the minority here not the blacks.
We have a boat with a 100 gallon water tank. Since the water sits so long I won’t drink it. Just use it for doing dishes, etc.
Every morning I take my 1 gallon jug off the boat and to the closest faucet and fill it up. Then take it back on the boat to make coffee, etc.
Doesn’t kill me.
