And my tap water comes from my tap.

Every glass is profit stolen from the daddy Capital ๐Ÿธ

Lol. That said, there are multiple companies involved in producing that tap water. So somebody is profiting from that glass of water, it's just a lot less than the bottled stuff.

I don't think we are quite there yet... water is generally municipal.

Right, but there will be contractors and whatnot involved in the process, and there is certainly commercial equipment used in the process.
