There are no special deals on water for snowbirds, that poster is quite confused. At best, the fee could be interpreted as a fee against the snowbirds since they pay it whether they use water or not.

Your water service (both if you have a separate irrigation meter) and your sewer service all come with a "base rate" for providing the service at all. Perhaps this covers meter reading or infrastructure maintenance. Everyone pays this base rate even if they use zero water for the month.

If water does flow through the meter then there is a charge per gallon as well.
