A $500,000 Water Meter

For over 30 years, bolinas, California, has stopped housing developments by banning new water connections. However, a water meter at a condemned house is up for sale in the upscale town. Before paying for a sewer connection, the land, and a building itself, the water connection is expected to go for a minimum of $500k. That makes for an expensive cup of water, but a really good investment.
