    The consequence is the water is shut off. There is no avoiding that.

    The neighbour is PAYING for every drop of water that comes out of the hose. Who uses that water isn’t up to anyone except the neighbour since he owns the water he paid for.

    Any other interpretation of property rights is due to people trying to punish the poor for their poverty.

      I don’t disagree with you at all. I’m just pointing out the logic of the people who made the laws and those enforcing them.
