I don't doubt what you are saying. First when I talk about my water bill it includes every single charge, fee tax that applies BUT ONLY to water as our utility. We have always incurred a bill in 3 digits. We water the yard once during winter months and twice during hot season. We water lawn for 25 min and shrubs for 10 min. We have had every aspect of our plumbing system inside and out checked for malfunctions, leaks, etc.

We water our plants/flowers on the lanai/bird cage once daily. About once a month i wash down the lanai/bird cage. We wash clothes 2-3 times a week

We don;t wait for the shower water to get warm we plunge right in. We use the dishwasher once a week and often do dishes by hand

I take my car to the car wash. My house get cleaned by a professional once a year.

We are full time residents and do not travel often. I doubt if a customer pushed for answer s/he would get very far with this bureaucracy
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????
Methinks there are some inconsistencies or redundancies between districts based on Carl's assessment.
