Well, some are state wide. That's pretty common.
Water is typically hyper local though.
And don't get me started on the regulation preventing hospitals to be built based on market demand. Most states have boards that are gate keepers.
WE HATE COMMUNISM! But we LOVE central planning. WE LOVE CAPITALISM! But free markets are dangerous.
When I started seeing how hypocritical the conservative movement actually is I started looking at libertarian ideas. I started seeing how minor the differences are between democrats and republicans. They are both pro central planning. Both pro taxes and big spending. They just fight for control and use different levers to gain it. Usually around moral topics. Its so clear once you divorce yourself from the red/blue grift.
The ideas many of hold are logical and can be explained very simply with reason. However they are labeled as extreme and dangerous. Its all so absurd.

The thing that really bothers me is that you have to pay for water twice. Once to pump it in your house, and then as a sewage fee.

I thought most places only charged from one end or the other.
I think I’ve usually only paid the sewage charge.

Some places charge twice. So it can get expensive quick.

I would hope there’s no service fee for that.

No, still have to pay the fee. In general, they dont actually look at your sewage. They just double what goes into your house.
