There are human/behavioral problems with that, in conjunction
with stored water. If you don't make getting to the water
at least a little bit of a pain, people will continue their
normal use-patterns, which will run through your stored capacity
in a hurry.

True. I'd venture that unless people have lived with the water shut off for
at least a few days they really don't have any idea of how much water they
consume in a day. IIRC, it's about 70-80 gallons a day per person.
