Why wouldn’t they simply tax water use at progressive rates? If you use a lot of water, you have to pay a lot of money (ideally, towards water processing services).
Doing low-flow laws makes for easy loophole setups like this, not to mention simply buying a device in/from another state. I doubt their cops are kicking down doors for Suspicion of High-Flow Toilet.
They do have different rates depending on usage, at least here in Jersey, but those rates are basically 0-3000 gallons, 3000-10000, and 10000 and beyond, for example. So what I’m saying is they’re very high and basically only distinguish between residential, commercial, and agricultural. Although I shouldn’t say agricultural, because they often need to get special permits and pay different rates altogether.

Apparently they need a better rate structure if they’re having to use low-flow laws as a crutch.
