This is the kind of thing where economic measures are useful. For political reasons you may not get a true cost for residential water, but maybe see how much industries in that area are paying per litre? Then you can calculate the dollar value you'd be imposing by living there, and compare it with the value you put on other differences between the places you're choosing from.
