Water is basically free, and should be basically free, because you can’t really “waste” it. It stays regional and assuming you live somewhere that is sustainable, i.e. not a desert, that particular anecdote isn’t really a problem. I absolutely have no problem with a brewery, or any industry using “too much” water. Assuming of course that the water they are using and flushing down the drain isn’t polluted.
It really depends on where you live. In Australia, fresh water is relatively scarce, and desalination is a difficult and expensive process. Any water used ends up in the ocean or another unusable location.

Seems like in a sustainable world, people shouldn’t be living there. and the fact that it is Australia tells me people only live there because of some kind of subsidized extraction economy, which shouldn’t be happening at all.
