From our water bill (in Duval):
Water base rate $8.06 0-4,000 gallons @ $1.72/thousand
Irrigation base rate $5.40 0-7,000 gallons @ $1.87/thousand
Utility tax - potable water 5%
Sewer base rate $11.49 0-10,000 gals @ $4.12/thousand
The deed restrictions for our villa state:
"Potable water may not be used for irrigation, except that supplemental irrigation with potable water is limited to annuals and the isolated treatment of heat stressed areas. All supplemental irrigation utilizing potable water must be done with a hose with an automatic shutoff nozzle. Use of sprinklers on a hose connection is not permitted."
