Somewhat-Reticent it’s about $5 per 100 gallons. Billing periods are randomized between 28 and 35 days. The 35 day billing period yields the higher costs obviously, but they are 100% random and not bound by the Georgian calendar.
If the average use is about 180 gallons a day…
5400 gallons / 100 times $5 = $270.
About $3 is for the wastewater and $2 for the water. Wastewater is measured by the same incoming water meter. Doesn’t matter if you wash a car, water a lawn, fill a swimming pool or even drink the nasty stuff. We’re charged for every drop to go to the sewage treatment plant whether it does or doesn’t.
Then you have the mandatory $29 service charge. That’s so if it’s a part time home they still get some money from you even if nobody’s there to use the water.
They have to turn a profit for their investors. It’s run by American Water Works, stock ticker $AWK.
