Galveston was buying an extra 3 million gallons of water a day and didn’t know it? Wow, just wow. Galveston is not that big of a city and 3 millions gallons is a lot of water.
I live nearly by and I have to pay $40/month of 3,000 gallons. That equates to $40,000/day for Galveston or $1.2 million a month.
Yeah the city buys wholesale and I buy retail but still we are talking serious money.

Not really. The overwhelming majority of your water cost is for the pipes, pumps, power, and treatment. Regardless of the source, those costs are added to every gallon you use.
