Much more expensive?? I am not sure which CDD you are in but for my CDD that is not true.

Base Potable Water: $8.78
0-3000 gallons of potable water: $2.07/thousand
3001 gallons and up of potable water: $4.14/thousand
5% potable water tax

Base Irrigation Water: $8.04
0-7000 gallons of irrigation water: $2.17/thousand
7001-14000 gallons of irrigation water: $3.63/thousand

Potable water cost more than irrigation water.
