rhood: I am not challenging your statement but I am both impressed and confused as to how you have never paid more than $16 a month for water.
Another poster was kind enough to list the water dept rates.
Base rate for portable water is $8.78
Base rate for irrigation water is 8.04
total base rate= $16.82
you are paying less than the base rate?
And added to the above are additional flat charges
tax on potable water 5% sewer base tax $12.07
and we haven't even addressed the two/three tier charges for actual water use. What county do you reside? and I wonder what county the poster who listed the water rates resides? Methinks there are different base rates going on here and their application. Hmmmm
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.
