Cost of Filling a Pool
 
We're getting ready to fill a new pool and I'm wondering if there is current information about how much it costs to fill an average sized pool with a garden hose? Should I inform the water company before the process begins?

No need to advise anyone. Filler-up. You will also be charged the sewer rate as well.
don't bother to call, that's it.

I don't know how it is done in TV, but in Tampa when I had my pool drained, resurfaced and refilled, I notified the water company and did not have to pay the sewer rate for the additional water use beyond my normal water usage.

I had to provide a work order from the company that resurfaced the pool to prove the work was actually done.

It might be worthwhile to double check.

Three different times in three different cities we filled our pools without paying the sewer charge. It could be different in TV but like Carl said---it's worth checking out.

Unless policy has changed from two years ago, I was charged the sewer rate.
I called and that is what I was told.

We filled our new pool (10-12' W x 22-24" long) in April. It increased my bill by around $80 including the increase in sewer. We live in Sumter Co.

Bogie is correct. Don't bother. About $75 total for mine. Decent size pool

According to the salesman at T&D and All Seasons, (salesman so questionable at best), call the water company they will read the meter and adj for no sewer charge when filling. So cost is only about $35 to $40.

I thought the hose water was non-potable water, is it safe to swim in? Don't you all find this kind of gross?

The hose water is "potable" water and on the same system as your interior house water. When you shut off your main water line in the garage it shuts off the hose bibs also. The reclaimed water is only utilized for irrigation.

hose water is the same as tap water. non-potable is irrigation water, coming from the sprinklers. am i correct?

Village Community Development Districts
If I have a pool or hot tub is there a re-filling discount on my water and sewer charges?
Each homeowner is responsible for paying for all water consumption that passes through the meter. Discounts are not offered on filling or refilling pools or hot tubs.
