Like when ppl say don’t wash your yard or car with a hose. Isn’t the extra water or for that matter all water either seeping underground and adding to groundwater table or being evaporated into nature to be recycled? In both cases the water will be filtered enough to be potable….

It was explained to me somewhat cynically: water has a cost. If you use a lot, and your neighbors use a lot, the cost to of the water goes up for everyone – including your industrial neighbor 3 miles away who happens to use your water system, but regularly consumes 50% of the system’s supply. They don’t like paying more for anything, so they ask everyone to use less so the prices stay low.
The real reasons are more nuanced and complicated – getting into things like aquifer access and water well density and whether or not it is legal to capture rain water if Nestlé is anywhere near your watershed. It has a lot to do with the cost to treat water.
