I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

I think that’s a cool option for preparedness, but seems like a bit of a hassle compared to just using municipal water. But I’m guessing the municipal water is also fairly expensive where you live
There were a couple of years with extended drought season were the city’s water supply were dangerously low… since then I have another five 260L barrels and 720L of rainwater storedn in 5L bottles under my stairs just to use for my lawn, garden and house plants… I haven’t touched those bottles in a long time and they are all mossy, but it’s just for plants anyway. I don’t believe the climate is going to get any better in the future nor the population is going to get smaller or the industry use less water. Every year is hotter than the previous. What I expect is longer and longer drought seasons, and I don’t think I’m prepared enough :P
Im my experience, the expensive park of the water bill is actually the sewer expenses. Are you on septic or do you use municipal sewer? Do you have a water/sewer bill at all in the months youre not using their water?
Here the sewer is 80% (so for every $10 you consume of water they charge another $8 for sewer). In those months I don’t use their water I still pay for the sewer minimal fee (up to 10m³ water consumption, my average in the months I use their water is 18m³)
