What is your daily average household water usage??
Looks like I’m averaging about 83 gallons a day. More (MUCH more) when the girls are home. But with just me & my son, we just barely get over the minimum charge amount. I’m spending about $35/month on water.
Back when I was married, I could always tell the months that the MIL visited....Water and electricity usesge would always spike noticeably. That woman would wash two T-shirt’s in a full load of water, and run the dishwasher with one place setting.

Between 4 and 5 thousand gallons per month.

4k gallons is $26.52. Me, wife, 2 daughters.

I think you need a decimal point in that number.

I've got my bill here in front of me. My wife and I used 4,000 gallons last month or 133/day. Bill for the water was $40 but by the time you add sewer, trash, insect spraying, etc. the total bill was $97.66.

I have a well so I don't pay a water bill.
I will have to say that it's just me and the dog here now so if I did have a bill, it'd be ridiculously low. Daughter moved out a few months ago.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Between 10k-15k gallons per month. Irrigation season accounts for the higher end. We are on a shared well, but have installed meters to accurately assign the shares of the electric bill based on usage. We are by far the lightest users of the three households on our well. Typically, our use is 20% of the total, the other two 40% each. The other two have much more landscaping requiring irrigation.
