Frankly, I never paid much attention to my bill until this month when I knew that it would be expensive because of watering our new landscape as recommended by my landscaper.
Irrigation:
15,620 gallons cost .........$56.78

Water Potable
2,670 gallons cost ............$15.03

Sewer Base ......15.65
2,670 gal @ 4.98 thousand....13.30
$28.95 for sewer

$17.90 trash and 146.48 Amenity charge

Total Bill. $265.14. District 10

Bottom line...water and sewer $100.76 for a month. Of course, the irrigation charge was skewed because of new trees that had to have more water because of lack of rain. "Grin and bear it"!
