You are entitled to waive the "theft of service" and "trespassing" issues on
your own property. However, you have no right to limit what others can do
in similar circumstances.

P.S. Assuming that you live in the U.S., by the way, you don't pay for the
water (that would be a crime) but for the delivery of same to your
residence.

My house is near a lake that many people use for recreation. Every now
and then I find someone using my hose to get a drink for themselves or
for their dog. Stealing? Technically, yes. I paid for the water. And
yes, it's always nicer when someone asks, first. But really, it's not
that big a deal. If you're thirsty, help yourself to some water. It
strikes me that in the Wi-fi world, leaving your AP open and
unprotected is often considered by the "community" as unspoken
permission to share.
So come on by and have a drink. But if you use my hose to fill your
swimming pool, well, then we'll have words.
