Curious how much is your water bill?

We pay $14.25 for the winter months, I think it's Nov-Apr. then it's based on what you use. The most we've used is about $40 something a month, but is generally $25. Family of 4 and we water our lawn, no pool. Pacific Northwest. That only includes water. Sewer is separate at $47 a mon flat rate. Water on the west side of the state is more expensive (lived over there too) but I don't remember how much I paid, just know everything was more expensive.

2 adults, large yard, vegetable garden and flowers.

Last year our water averaged $67 per month, which includes a $3.50/month fee for keeping waste out of the Trinity River. Our city does not charge for garbage PU. Please remember that we have had drought conditions for the past 3 years and that meant more watering to keep grass and trees green.

I keep a excel chart on our utilities which goes back about 5 years.

Last month it was 36.68 for the month.

An average of $130 every two months for water and sewer. All our watering is done by the HOA, so it's just our personal usage for two adults and one child. We're in Oregon. 

last month was $45, So Cal, small yard, no pool, 4 ppl, drought so limited watering.
Trash is $45/quarter

Our situation is a bit different than most people; a private, for-profit water company services the town where we live.  (Maricopa, AZ, a smallish town about 20 miles south of Phoenix.)

Our cost just to HAVE water service to our house is $90 per month;  that price is the cost just to have the water service to the house turned on; that price doesn't include any use at all.  This price has more than doubled over the past few years, and will probably increase at least another 10-20% over the next couple years.  (The water company petitioned the Arizona Corporation Commission to raise the rates a few years ago ONLY so that their shareholders could get the return on their investment that they expected- and they agreed to it-- so our water rates will actually still be raised even more.)

Any water we actually USE is tacked on top of that service price. It totally sucks and that is one of the (many) reasons we're moving to a different community.

We water a very small area of grass, and we water one palm tree and a couple other plants very sparingly- our family is just us two, with 3-4 loads of laundry per week, showers, toilet flushing, etc. The water company also lowered the cutoff point for the lowest use rate to only about 6000 gallons per months, I think.  The actual 'water used' is typically less than $15-$20 of our total bill, which can be over $130 in the summer.  


(Even if a house is occupied by snowbirds who are gone for 6 months a year, they STILL have to pay $90 per month, for using NO water at all. Or they have the water totally turned off; then they would have to pay a $250 fee to turn it back on when they come back to AZ.)

ETA2:  trash collection is a separate bill; our water bill is JUST water.

ehhh I have no idea.. we are on a well(spring fed water table so have really good water to boot)..also on a septic. I can't imagine watering grass and I certainly wouldn't pay for water for the grass but it's just one of those things that's looked at differently out in the country maybe, when it rains the grass gets watered.. I will water flowers to an extent- but during bad droughts there comes a point where I stop doing that too as preserving the water is more important. we live on a farm, making sure the water table doesn't go too low or dry is more important to all of us, the people and animals(especially the cows who drink a lot) need it more than flowers.. just based on the fact that my electric bill is low, I'd imagine a water bill of mine wouldn't be much either.

However, the few people I know who pay for water tend to pay less than $50, typically less than $35.

Our "water bill" is about $100 a month in the summer but really it is $40 for water, $60 for sewer. 3.5 people in the house, we have irrigation but use rain barrels for watering plants. We could pay for a second water meter for our irrigation system and not have to pay sewer on that water usage (sewer is paying to take the water away) but it would take 2-3 years to break even so we didn't do it.

It's really interesting to read all the different rates, conditions and so on, and it made me go and hunt out my water charges. I pay £280 a year for water and sewerage, which equates to about $35 a month. It's unmetered in Scotland, which I think might be different from the rest of the UK. But then, we get so much rain, it would be unfair to meter it!

I usually pay around $55-60 a month and there are 5 of us now, live in west central Georgia.

Last month's bill was $153!!! But i was running the sprinklers for the grass, have to put water in the pool every couple of weeks, and watering the garden. I've given up watering the grass because I could water it all day long and not keep up with this blazing heat that's killing all plant life around here, plus I have a busted sprinkler head that STILL isn't fixed yet so it just floods one section of the yard and wastes water. 

That includes sewer and trash charges too.

$80-$110. We have a pool. 2 dogs. It's just DH and I.

Family of 3, we pay about $60/month.
We just started watering the lawn, so that may go up this next quarter.

We get billed every two months. Most of the year it is just under $60, so $30/month. Around June-Oct it will double due to watering an acre of lawn. Our subdivision is outside the city limits and on a well.
