Reply to comment by Tim_Y in Water Bill (RANT) by The_Waxies_Dargle

So taking your number(s) as an ave, $195, x 12 = $2,340 is what a family of 3 should expect for a waterbill each year? Because that seems awfully high for something the city provides to residents at scale.

Don't get me wrong, I think the bills are ridiculous, but that's what I've been seeing in my rentals for yrs and when I used to live in the city. I think years ago mine were about $70/mi and it slowly crept up to $120 - $150.

Water bills are public info, so you can see for yourself by punching in your neighbors addresses. I've done that and found an alarming amount of my neighbors were behind thousands of dollars.

The bill for my household of two adults is about $66 / mo. Our average usage is 2 CCF. We are very, very frugal. (eg, I water my plants with my dehumidifier water. We take very short showers.)
