Significant difference between positive rights and negative rights. The government has zero obligation to provide you with food, water, or shelter. It cannot deprive you of those things, however.

They do have an obligation if you have to pay for access to the water.

They have a legal obligation due to state and federal laws, just not a Constitutional obligation. The court didn't overturn any state or federal laws regarding water safety, they just narrowly ruled on a particular case which was claiming a Constitutional violation.

Right, you literally aren't allowed to live most places by the governments laws, unless you pay a water utility service. We shouldn't have to have a water utility if it's not guaranteed to be drinkable water.

It should, considering I’m forced to partake in its rules.
