Seriously. It's a public good, but not treated as one. Same goes for a variety of resources, from timber onwards. If Ontario capped the total volume of spring/groundwater that could be withdrawn per year, and then auctioned it off - I suspect that the per million liter cost might exceed $3.71. In fact, if we just treated it as tap water, my bills inform me that it's higher (i know, not apples to apples - but I'm not profiting off my tap).
In fact, somewhere there's a really good article on hunting for groundwater sources...
