My monthly potable water bill averages about $13 a month (that includes an $8.06 base fee that you pay even if you don’t use any water). My sewer treatment averages about $23 a month (which includes an $11.49 base fee).

My irrigation bill generally runs about $12 a month (including a $5.40 base fee). The amount of irrigation water will vary greatly depending on size of lot, amount/type of landscaping and time of year. Irrigation water is charged on a “tier system”. 0 – 7000 gallons the rate is $1.87/thousand, 7000 – 14,000 gallons $3.04/thousand and 14,000 and up $4.23/thousand. (Note the 7,000-14000 and 14000+ rate may be a little higher now, I only went that high the first month I moved in and had new landscaping).

The rate on potable water on my last bill was $1.72/Thousand. So if you know the size of your pool, you can figure an estimate that way. Up north, when we filled a pool, we didn’t have to pay sewer treatment for that amount of water. Not sure if they cut you that break here or not.
