The article directly contradicts this. Farmers are paying water tax even for their own wells.


As they should, because there’s no such thing as “your own well.” A well lets you pump water from a shared aquifer. If 100 parcels of land were on one aquifer and one resident pumped all of it, leaving none for anyone else, it would be a misleading lie to say they were just pumping “their own well.”


Then farmers aren't purchasing water - they are being taxed.
