please explain how someone that has their water cut off still has access to water
The problem would be more clear to say they don't have access to any free water or don't have access to money or a source of income. Saying they don't have access to water implies the infrastructure isn't there, which is not the problem that needs to be solved in this case.
All I said was that saying in a general sense that people don't have access to water implies infrastructure problems which isn't the case here.
When someone says 'infrastructure and access isn't the problem' and you say "I for one, think people deserve water" that's just nonsensical and self righteous.
