How much is your water bill per month? And how is the quality?

[NNN0LHI]

Mine is getting up near a hundred dollars a month for normal usage. That seems like a lot but when the town used to be on a well the water was almost worthless. All you could do with it was bathe and wash clothes with it and it still ruined your clothes even with a water softener recharging every night. We had to carry home all our drinking water and water used to cook with so this is still better for us. Used to us 6-8 bags of water softener salt per month too. That was just to prevent the high calcium in the water from eating the chrome off of our kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Now its only one per month. They installed a water pipeline from the Kankakee river about 5 years ago and now the quality is really good.

Guess you get what you pay for?

1. $40 and it tastes great!

2. About $28 a month including sewer charge.

One of thr fringe benfits of living near the Great Lakes. Our quality is excellent. I can drink ours right from tap no problem. We're the Saudi Arabia of fresh water.

3. $33 for water, trash pickup, sewer, recycling

and an occasional unscripted tap dance.

Water quality is the best in my area. The wealthy GOP parts of town have high arsenic levels, probably part of what makes them cranky.

5. About $25/month

For water, sewage, trash and recycling. And the water tasted good straight out of the tap.

But I'm a single person.

6. $50 a month

and there is no way I would drink it.

7. Thats what I used to have

Even after running the towns well water through a water softener and a charcoal filter there would still be scum (lots of it) on top of my coffee. It truly was undrinkable.

8. 17 bucks a month

for water and garbage pickup. Taste? I dont know. I only drink beer and Wild Turkey.

9. Average about 50 bucks. Quality is fine, if occasionally a bit overchlorinated.

Comes from the lake 2 blocks away...but travels several miles on the way to the faucet.

10. Water here is unmetered and flat rate. Quality varies a lot in different parts of town.

11. $22 for water, trash pickup, sewer.

the tap water is good to drink, doesn't even leave water spots on cars after washing.

[nosmokes]

12. A couple of bucks? whatever it cost to run the UV light filter for my

mountain spring water. and the aggro of having to tote some clay up the hill every 3 - 5 years to seal the pick. Good tasting sweetwater low in contaminants.

[jules1962]

13. not too high

Mine is about 60.00 a month for water, sewer, and trash and recycling pickup. Only problem is the water is extremely hard around here.

18. I live in Prescott,Az and thats how the water is here and

expensive

[NNN0LHI]

15. What happens if you get a big moose peeing into it upstream somewhere?

I am joking around.

14. It is free and plentiful

and it tastes great...
Where I live, water is in abundance and we've had a well for all the years I've been here.

[Speck Tater]

16. Maybe 50 cents or a dollar

in electricity to pump it out of the well. Quality is great!

And if the electricity fails I have a backup hand pump.

[az chela]

17. Well now i am really pissed !!!!

Ours has went up to 65 a month and We have filters on the drinkable water cause it tastes like crap

[SmileyRose]

19. just shy of $40 for up to 3000 gal a month

Normally it's cloroxy but Brita solves that. sometimes it comes out smelling like sewage. On those days the husband unit takes a 5 gallon drink cooler to a friend on a different water source and fills up out of the hose (with their permission of course) - and we run that through the Brita for cooking and drinking.

20. about $18-20 a month here in B-More MD, quality is very good actually.
