1. Whatever electric is used to suck it from the ground
I'm not sure if it sucks or if the pump blows. Once I start thinking about that I get all confused.

:D

14. It sucks

The last time our well blew we took care of repair guy's kid's college tuition for the year.

2. Have no idea
It's part of my homeowners' association dues. It's probably not more than $100 a month at the very most, as I'm the only one in my unit, and I don't use much water.

4. Under $40 for 3 months, but the sewer bill is about $127 for the same
period. We have great township services - but if we lived a few houses down the street, we would live inside the city limits and have fewer services for much more money and higher taxes but cheaper houses.
It's a game, isn't it.....

6. Our towns minimum is roughly $50 a month for water and sewer. Ours usually runs around $75 monthly.
We had been at $100 a month until we got the new FL washer and the new potty.

Almost $20 of each monthly payment goes for paying off any village debt for upgrading the water/sewer plants.

33. I am pea green with envy.
Down here in "Mayberry" we pay average of 38.00 mo. for water, sewer and garbage, all on same bill.
Average use is 400 gallons a month of water, for 2 people, 1 dog.
That may change since just we put in new shower head and new toilet, both of which use less water per occasion.

24. I admit that I have no idea. The three buildings--my house, the church building,
and the office building are all on the same bill, and the church treasurer pays it. I do know, though, that my assistant who sees the bill when she gets the invoice from the treasurer to put in a file, often comments on how little water I use. So, it must not be much.

We have a well very far from our septic tank and it's filtered by the soil...

30. About $15/mo.
We use it for the following: dishwasher, high-efficiency washing machine, showers, rinsing dishes.

We (including the cats) don't drink the tapwater. It is icky.

36. $65 a month
over 2/3 of that is the sewage charge.

based on 5000 gal minimum usage which pisses me off since I try and conserve water.
