Why does a customer pay a base rate and then a graduated amount? The graduated rate begins at 0.
there are also additional charges for maintenance/upkeep, etc
I believe water to be more expensive here than any other state in which I lived.[/QUOTE]
I thought the same thing about water being more expensive here until I looked at an old water bill from New York. The price per gallon here is less but we only paid the access fee once a year which is equal to the cost that we pay here monthly. What I don't understand is how clean drinking water can be cheaper than dirty irrigation water?[/QUOTE]
Where in New York it makes a difference? also upstate New York subsidizes
New York city's transportation, insurance rates, etc I assume water also
