The shallow end is 1 ft...let's say for purposes of doing the math. So the average depth would be 2.5 (6-1=5/2 right?). So you are saying multiply 14 x 28 x2.5 x 7.5? Which would be 7,350. So it takes 7,350 gallons of water (apx) to fill the pool? x $3.04 per thousand? skybo..that can't be right. Because it would cost $21.00 to fill the pool. Something isn't right. Handyman what is the correct answer here?

Thanks for the correction.
However, any way you look at it, still Pxxxex me off.

You will pay for the water and the sewer charge. That's the same way it was in western NY.
My pool builder said he stopped using trucked in water as he was getting a lot of rust and could not be assured of clean water.

No, the $3.04/thousand rate was for irrigation water, which I included in my answer to your question about average monthly water bills. I don’t think you’d use irrigation water to fill a pool, but I could be wrong...I don’t have a pool here.

I *think* (again I could be wrong) that the water that comes out of the hose is potable water, and that rate is $1.72/thousand. I used 2,650 gallons of potable water last month and it cost me $4.56 (plus the $8.06 base fee). Again, I don’t know if they would charge you sewer treatment fee on water that goes into a pool, but if they do, that rate is $4.12/thousand (on top of what you pay for the water).

To put it into perspective, my first month here (with brand new landscaping that had to be watered every day), I used 39,000 gallons of irrigation water, which is a higher rate than potable water, and that portion of my water bill was only $144.00.

I think your estimate on how much water it will take to fill your pool is a little low, but in any case, I don’t think it’s going to cost you as much to fill it as you might be expecting.

1ft shallow+6ft deep devide by 2=3.5x28x14=1372cuft x 7.5=10290 gals or a little more than an average semi tanker carries,to give you an idea of what 10000 gals looks like

How deep is the shallow end and what is the grade of descent to the deep end? And assuming the pool is not on a straight vertical what is the length of the plateaus of the shallow end and the deep end?

With that information I can get my slide rule out and work on it.

For ease of computation, assume it is a straight constant line from the shallow end which is 1 ft. to the deep end which is 6 ft. Slide rule! Impressive.

When we moved to the Village of Charlotte in January, we were told by our builder that the water from the hose is NOT potable and we should not allow anyone or any animals to drink from it.

I don't have a pool, but knowing that info, why would you want to swim in the water that's used in your toilet bowl (also not potable)? Just asking...

Is the water different in other parts of TV?

Wow. I hardly know what to say. My understanding is that all pools are filled by your hose. I guess that is a great question to ask. Thanks.

We need a plumber to step in here and clear this up
 

Are you sure he wasn’t talking about the irrigation water (the water that comes out of the in-ground sprinkler system)?

I’m no plumber, but I believe that all household water is the same. The water that goes into your toilet bowl comes from the same place as the water that comes out of your kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, shower heads, washing machine and fills your ice maker. And I’m also pretty sure that it is the same water that comes out of your outside hoses.

I know they water the golf courses with irrigation water which means essentially it is sewage water. I don't know if that is what is in the houses for irrigation as well. It does make sense though. Do we have two sets of water meters? I hate to think we actually have to pay for sewage water. lol

The irrigation water is reclaimed water which is far from sewage water. It has been treated to a level just short of drinking quality which is why it is classed as non-potable. In Caroline, the outside hose bibs are the same as the interior water, i.e., potable. I suspect the other poster was being told about the irrigation water, not the water from the hose bibs.

Yes we have two separate meters...one for household water and one for irrigation water. That was how I was able to give you the rate breakdowns a few posts earlier. And yes we pay for the irrigation water in our yards. It is collected and/or treated somewhat differently than the irrigation water on the golf courses, but I don’t know the specifics...I’ll let someone more knowledgeable explain the details of how that works.

Edited to add: Thanks Mike

My pool is about 14 X 30 with a 6ft deep end (it is somewhat kidney shaped). We had to refill it due to a couple of divots that needed sanding. The cost for the extra water to fill (from the exterior hose bibs, which is potable water, since they also don't like trucked in water) was $95. It came to 14100 extra gallons charged at the top rate since we had already filled it once. The pool company paid for the extra water since the divot was their problem. All Seasons Pools did the pool and we are very happy with their product and the service.

South of 466 this is exactly the case. The exterior house bibs are interior water (read my post above about the pool fill). Only the irrigation pipes are reclaimed water.
