I guess I could walk to the river to drink the water directly for free, but I'm pretty happy paying about $2 per thousand litres delivered in consistent, safe, potable form directly to the faucets in my house including all the pumping and piping infrastructure that brings it in and then later takes it away again to the treatment plant when I've used it.

Infrastructure exists within Socialism, too, and in many cases exceeds the level of Capitalist peer countries. Your point doesn't really clarify why we need to continue Capitalism, just why it's progressive compared to Feudalism.
