D_Alex comments on A kind or reverse “tragedy of the commons”—any solution ideas?

That’s an excellent point! Lets just do some maths:

Water cost here is $2.00/​m3

Cost of heating 1000 kg of water 20-->60 deg with gas@ $0.02/​MJ: ~4010004*.02/​1000 = $3.20 (this is central, individual would be abt double)

So the cost of heating is not far from the cost of water… I think this could work.

Thanks, I will try this and see how it turns out. Might report back in a month or so!
