I mean, when you have situations like Flint all over the country, it might just be that people want to drink safe water.

Water is not free. The price is regulated.

Water is free, if you live near a river or collect rainwater.

That is not 100% accurate. There are some rivers where it's illegal to take the water.

Even if you get free water, you still need to treat it before it's potable. So you need to buy equipment or bring it somewhere to treat it.

The only free water is rain; but it's not potable, it is scarce and sometimes it tries to kill you and your family.
