Water pressure reduced/exorbitant rates and taxes

I monitor my home's water usage constantly and of late since the level 4 lockdown kicked into effect... I've noted that my taps have started leaking including noting a foul smell coming from both toilets in my house, after really looking into the toilets matter.... I then realized that the municipality actually lowered the water pressure as before the lockdown came into effect.... My house water pressure was normal and now all of a sudden the pressure has changed and yet my rates and taxes are always exorbitant for a household of just two people.

Am I suffering as a result of not being on a prepaid meter? I ask myself
