Downside? We get charged sewerage on all water used, even when out of town and the only use is irrigation.
Yes, that's always seemed "crazy" (unless maybe a municipality is greedy, LOL) to charge extra "sewer" tax for water that does not use the "sewer system". We've had that in several states where we've lived. Probably too costly to the municipality to install a separate meter of course. Actually it's a pretty cleaver scheme for additional revenue, I remember many years ago when the community where we lived at the time was running low on things that could be taxed (this was in Illinois), and came up with a "flush" tax, tax the water on both ends, into the house and then when it leaves ! Ingenious !
