False dichotomy. Access to running water is not a luxury. I think that word is too loaded to use technically here.

In the context of a country where running water is ubiquitous, it is a horror that people have no infrastructure providing running water. It's not a "right" in the platonic sense, but I think I can say fairly objectively that it comes close to that status. That's really all that matters.

What can you really do with the information that water should be a "luxury" in the technical sense? Leave everyone t their own devices?
