Water to drink and wash should never be denied to people, money or no money.

Fine, you pay for it.

Nor was this appropriation of any parcel of land, by improving it, any prejudice to any other man, since there was still enough and as good left, and more than the yet unprovided could use. So that, in effect, there was never the less left for others because of his enclosure for himself. For he that leaves as much as another can make use of does as good as take nothing at all. Nobody could think himself injured by the drinking of another man, though he took a good draught, who had a whole river of the same water left him to quench his thirst. And the case of land and water, where there is enough of both, is perfectly the same.

John Locke

Man has a natural right to water, because without it there can be no life. To deny a man water is tyranny. What would Locke say? Or, what would Jesus say?
