WTF??? Pressure has nothing to do with it? I think you need a lesson
in water pressure.

So, you're saying that a house that's higher up on the hill, with
lower water pressure, pays less for their thousand gallons of water
than a house lower down, with higher pressure, pays for their thousand
gallons?

Lets take a 3/4" pipe and run water through it at 50psi for 1 min.
Lets take a 3/4" pipe and run water through it at 100psi for 1 min.
Do you mean to tell me that you would have the same amount of water
from both scenarios?
Oh my. Better try again.

That's not what he was saying at all. Read it again.

If the OP can't figure out that with higher pressure, and a lot more
water spurting out of the faucet at a given faucet opening, well,
there's a bigger problem there than the water usage.

Simple solution, don't open the faucet as much.
