Where I live in Canada the water rate is about $3.30 CDn for a cubic meter of water.
I did some math, a cubic meter is about 220 imperial gallons (or 1000 litres). So that is about 1.5 cents cdn. or $1.25 JA for a gallon out of the tap. That includes sewage treatment fee.
$5000J for 2300 gallons is about $2.17 JA for a gallon. (almost double the cost of my water bill) Not cheap, BUT just think what people are paying for a bottle of water!
How do they get away with it?
