Raykeeper's Water Bill?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
never got a call from the water company.
I am only at about 2k gallons monthly and no drip.

But I get letters from the electric company 3 times a year on average for the last 4 years.

And they always send me coupons for free cfl light bulbs.:ROFL:

Man my water company never calls me, but they gave it to me good for like 1.5 years. From the day I moved into the house until the day they put a new meter on the house I was paying 120 - 160 every two months. After a year and a half they put a new meter in and now my bills are like 60 or 70 every 2 months. The only thing that changed is instead of 120 Gallons worth of tanks I now have about 300 gallons worth.

I never called about it because what am I going to say? they would just tell me I used more and I would have no proof. I always wanted to do a drip but was scared of the water bill.
 
I am about 6-7K a month. One thing that we all need to be aware is that most water company calculate your sewage uses based on the amount of water that you use.

Around here, I am paying about $ 6 per 800 gallons of water use. Sewage cost is about $ 4 per 800 gallons.

I had to call the water dept, have an inspector came out to inspect the drip system. I explained that out of 6-7K, 70% goes to my drip system. All the excess water are used to water my yard and foundation. Basically, I never "return " the water back to the city to be process.

He agrees, and now, my sewage is only calculated based on 35% of the water usage.

Hope this helps..

Definitely something for people to keep in mind. A lot of my excess water goes out into the yard (at least in warmer weather), but I don't use enough yet to really bother with telling the water company.
 
Oh yah, I'm about 750g per month. Don't have anything bigger than a 125g, so water changes aren't too bad (yet).
 
Were my wife and I live the utilities are included in the rent so no matter how much water and power I use are bill is always the same...
 
I drip about 10,000 ga11ons a month. I have 2 600 ga11on tanks, a 360 and a 125. A11 on drips.

I got back from paying my water bi11, and my 1and1ord actua11y stopped me and asked how many months I was 1ate in paying my bi11. Shou1d have seen her face when I to1d her I was current on my payments.

(Appo1ogies for the 1eet speak; my keyboard is broken.)
 
I am very fortunate that our water company has very clean stable water and my 1500 gallon a month plus what we use everyday only costs me $25 a month.
