“Sure it is, as is buying a car that gets 8 mpg”
That isn’t hurting government infrastructure, but the government does justifiably put limits on the weight that you put on the roads.
Plumbing is very much a regulated business and industry and has been for many centuries.
but the government does justifiably put limits on the weight that you put on the roads. This is a limit on individual vehicles due to the disproportionate amount of damage that a single heavy vehicle can do to the roads. If individual flushes put a similar strain on the sewer system, you'd have a point. They don't. The reason for it was to lower the overall amount of water being pushed through the system. If a municipal system is strained by increasing demands forcing infrastructure improvements, the price/gallon of water should reflect these costs.
The fact that government has imposed itself into areas where it does not belong does not make it right.
