I read here a few months back that landscape water cost more per gallon than potable - true?

Looking at our most recent bill yes the cost of irrigation water is higher than potable water, at least it is in Sumter. But I imagine irrigation usage costs will vary according to lot sizes. Example: a patio villa probably uses a lot less irrigation water than our over sized designer home lot, so naturally we would see a higher water bill.
