Every once in a while T V likes to throw in some unexplained random rise of almost double water usage bill out of the blue. Saw a news clip on that phenomenon but didn't follow up.

Only in T V do you pay for regular water in, AND WATER OUT plus sewer costs. Very strange to me but what are you gonna do??? Potable water is cheaper than reclaimed too... another anomaly for T V.

Orlando reclaimed water used to be like $8 bucks a month once upon a time...
I suggest that you take another look at your water bill. In my case, potable water is about 3 times the cost of irrigation water, when you consider that the sewer charge is based on the amount of potable water used. I pay about 0.9 cents per gallon for potable water and about 0.3 cents per gallon for irrigation water.
