Water Bill
Just received VCDD utility bill and was wondering why the rate for reclaimed, non-potable water used only for irrigation is more costly than potable water. Any answers out there?
|
I called the water company and was told the reason is so people don't use too much.
|
Do you recall that skit by Abbott and Costello when they were in jail with a very large and strong guy who apparently had a bad experience in Niagara Falls with his wife. and so everytime Costello said "Niagara Falls the large guy would say " slowly I turned and step by step" and beat costello.
Well since moving to The Villages when I hear two words "water" and "insurance" it mkes me say "and slowly I turned.....":cold: |
Because they can.

North of 466, there is only one water bill rate. We do not use reclaimed water for our yards. Oh, it is cheaper than south of 466. Just one more reason to consider a preowned home in an established section.

nothing, except you will also pay the sewer charge for that water

Water base 0-4,000 gallons @ $1.72/thousand Irrigation Base 0-7,000 gallons @ $1.87/thousand Utility tax - potable water 5% Sewer base 0-10,000 gals @ $4.12/thousand Bill :) |

4000 gals of potable - 24.53 (6.88 + 16.48 sewer + 1.17 tax). vs 4000 irrigation - 7.48 Now a question could be why the sewer is so expensive. Seems somewhat unfair using water consumption to determine sewer charges. |
And slowly I turned and step by step.....
