    It’s probably considered stealing like if you were to use a cable splitter to take your neighbor’s Internet. Except that’s bullshit for a metered water connection so fuck whoever made that law or regulation.

      He noted that Spirit Lake charges just a $15 flat monthly fee per residence for water service, which covers 12,000 gallons of water, plus another $1.25 for each additional 1,000 gallons used.

      If they weren’t already over the limit, the extra water would be “free.” Not that I think they should have any right to actually enforce it, but you can kinda see why they wouldn’t want people using the flat fee portion of the water like that.

      Yeah, I suspect there is more to the store than the tweet is saying.
