So every time I wash my car I'm not only paying for the water I use (understandably), but also for that same amount in sewage - despite the fact it absorbs into the ground and doesn't even reach the city's sewer system.

Municipalities try and fuck over the residents at every opportunity - I can't blame people for doing the same in return sometimes.
Ask your water company to install a second meter to measure water usage for irrigation, swimming pools and other outdoor use. Cost me about $600 but as much of watering i do for my yard it will pay for itself in about 2 years.
