I've always been a great believer in this.
Now I'm involved in one of those contentious areas of 'user pays'. Water.
When a thing is percieved as 'free' (it isn't) it will invariably be wasted (it is)
When water is wasted, the cost is invisible to most- it's tacked onto the rates bill- which is always going up way ahead of inflation.
I have heard many a time 'water should be free- it's our right to have water!'
So buy a friggin rainwater tank!
Meter it, charge accordingly and keep the cost off the rates bill. That's cheaper than having to pay for plant capacity upgrades!
