I worked for a company in a small town. Our accountant paid all the local utility bills without question. One day a mamager from another local comapny called and asked if I had seen the new water bill. I hadn't. He suggested I take a look...our water bill for the quarter had increased 800% with no increase in usage. Turned out the town was hunting revenue and figured "industry could pay" as they certainly couldn't raise the water rates for the elterly, fixed income citizens. The attitude was that we could merely raise our prices to cover their ineptitude.
As most of our consumption was for cooling in our manufacturing process and we had merely been cooling and dumping the cooling water, we added chillers and holding tanks and began recycling our water AND reporting our conservation efforts monthly to the town council UNTIL one day they came to us and said they were dependent on our paying the egregious water bills, stop conserving. I was delighted to tell them "TS", they raised the rates with no prior notification and told us at the council meeting where we made our initial protest that they wanted us to conserve. It delighted me to report our conservation efforts and to be totally unsympathetic to their delima.
Our one concesson was to continue using the townwater rather than going to the expense of drilling a well.

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
