Hmm. "Domestic"... Sure that does'nt amount to ~1% of the total ?

The farmers that live an hours drive upstream of me pay a penny
for a dollar's worth of water here. Unless I was an industrial user,
in which case I'd pay 2-20 cents, depending on where I fit into
the pecking order.

You notice the loudest advocates of "markets" don't talk about "free",
or "efficient" markets.
