I don't mind paying for the purifying of raw water into drinkable water. However, I have an issue if the company, which is own by the government, in charge of purification is making a profit out of it. It is the government's responsibilities to provide the citizens with the basic necessities.

We don't pay for the water it's self but for the delivery system and the plants that make sure the water is safe to drink. Most times that bottled water is just tap water and we pay for the privilege of the convenience of having it bottled so we can buy it when we are out and about. javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$cphMainContent$lbStart','')

These waters that come direct from the rivers or lakes are polluted and contaminated. And that's why we have to pay the companies that clean them up so that they are safe enough for us to drink. I'm glad that air is still free. But it may not if we continue to pollute and contaminate the environment.

the water we drink passed through a purification process, to make sure its safe for health. It's just right to pay not for the water itself, not just for the processing but for the cost of it being brought accessible to our homes.

We cant claim it as a Fundamental Human Right my friend. They would say the process for distilling it and etc.. and how they make it as a pure mineral water. And for the same we pay... Cost wise 1 litre of water cost 15 Rupees... I hope if you want to become rich soon, you can start a new company..
