My fucking water bill last month was $100 and that was almost entirely from flushing toilets. That, just 15 years ago wouls have been $10.

Mine arrived yesterday. $26.10 for the month. You need to move out of

My last water bill was $80.50.  I live about 60 miles south of Tom. We
have different water companies.  My water bill has been creeping
upwards since the last few droughts:

My water bill went up even faster after the CZU fire destroyed a large
part of the water distribution and storage system Aug-Sept 2020:

Also, only $9.50 of the $80.50 is for water.  The rest if for service.
In other words, if the water district delivered no water, my bill
would still be $71 per month.

I suspect that Tom's water bill follows the same pattern, where
reducing his water use will have almost no effect on his $100 monthly
bill.

Sounds simple. It's not.  In WI you need a drill permit
first, can't do it yourself, as it requires a licensed well
driller and then there's county water testing, forever.

As with your 'water' bill, the larger expense is on the
other (sewage) side. In rural areas, that's septic tank
clearance and testing (leach fields no longer permitted).

  I can only sympathies with you people back there .... all those
helpful agencies.
 Growing up in mid New Hampshire we lived in two houses with wells and
septic tanks. Never a problem.
 I suppose that the difference was that we knew what we were doing and
the U.S. wasn't, in those days intent on controlling every act the
citizens make.

For a bit over 100 years, morning at girlfriend's farm began by slinging a bucket on a rope into the spring.  Her father ran a steel pipe from deep in the spring to an electric pump in the farmhouse in 1959. Girlfriend was overjoyed at indoor plumbing (finally).
All was well until about ten years ago when the State inspector showed up and cited her for spring water, which is now banned. She had to have a well drilled ($$) and now has mineral rich bad tasting well water rather than spring water.
