>> It's worth so much that a person shouldn't be required to pay for it. Like a right.
It can't be a right. That would mean someone has an obligation to provide it. I would say it's worth so much that a monopoly on it should not be allowed.

By that logic, voting can't be a right, because someone has to register voters, run the polling booths, count the votes, etc.
Also, I know folks on well water that live outside of the city, society does not provide their drinking water.
Also, There is Flint MI.
Flint MI is an absolute crisis and the government has stepped in, the state of Michigan sued the city, and there have been over a dozen criminal indictments. Multiple governments have stepped in to repair the obligation of clean drinking water, and to punish those who failed the citizens.
The monopoly isn't made by the company, it's a conditional and time-limited offer given by the society to promote the creation of such things.
The individual shouldn't be paying.
