It’s a basic human right: water. But could the United Nations soon help the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department provide the service to struggling customers?
And while Garner says water is “a God-given right,” she says there is a cost to move water from the water resource to the customer and that the infrastructure costs money.
You will pay for water ether way, to the Government in taxes, or to the water authority.Is the supplying of water a basic human right?
If you consider all the things the gov't spends our money on (defense, roads, bridges, justice system etc), should one of them be a simple necessity?

No. Housing, which includes water, in my opinion is a basic human right and should not have to pay for it. It should be provided.

Yeah, except it's not and never has been, anywhere on the globe.
Taxation.Positive rights are fun. Tell me, how would water and housing be provided to you without someones labor being required?
Edit: I meant to vote yes. :doh
Without water, we cannot live. Therefore since we have a right to life we have a right to water.
The prohibition on collecting rainwater should be prohibited.
If you're not in a position to drop your own well, a "cost plus" method of delivery should be established in the locality in which you reside. The "plus" a minimal amount which covers the expenses of withdrawing, cleaning, distributing, and maintenance of infrastructure.
Food is also a basic right however its not free. Somebody has to pay for water whether its the tenet or the landlord. You can always stick your tongue out when it rains, that way its free. :lamoNo. Housing, which includes water, in my opinion is a basic human right and should not have to pay for it.

You cannot have a right to other people paying for something for you.
Just because something is required for living does not make it a right.
Rights are unalienable, inherent rather than parasitic.
If everything you needed was provided for you, at the expense of another's labor, why work? Your survival is not my problem, I do not live for your sake.

Taxation.
Of course we should pay for water, delivering safe clean water is not cheap.
Yet much money is expected by owners of water rights for access alone.
As taco said, it is illegal to.collect the water that falls on your house in many areas.
And requiring people to pay someone else to sleep legally is govt enforced parasitism. Otherwise I could sleep in my RV for free.
Taxation.
I am in complete agreement with anyone opposed to rain taxes or bans on collecting rainwater.
Taxation is a draw on the labor of others, that goes to pay for the labor of others (in this case, the person or people who maintain the water treatment plant and build the infrastructure).
In your system, what does the basis for taxation come from? Labor!
In your system, where does that taxation get used? On more labor!
Your system requires the labor of others.
