City water may be cheap, but it isn't going to get any cheaper, at least here. Poland has been procrastinating with its promise to build new sewage treatment plants, so it will have to pay huge fines to the EU (or EC). The price of water (and sewage) for homeowners is expected to rise
25-fold within the next few years, while in the Warsaw area by as much as
50-fold!
The Wife and I are amoung the few who are glad about this, since hopefully it will teach people to pay more attention to conservation and will reduce the number of lawns being watered
while it's raining. With our seasonal rainwater barrels, and with the planned greywater system, we won't feel the higher water bills as much as people who don't care about wasting.

How true. It's too bad that the city system doesn't have a second set of pipes with non-potable water - for flushing, car washing, garden watering, etc.
