I'd hate to see your water bill.

It's been about $25 to $30 a month for years. 

I thought about diverting the washing machine water to watering the lawn, but I don't care about or water the lawn.

 What? 

We get charged by the gallon.

We get charged by the day, which is about half the bill, and also by usage, which is at a rate per 1000 gallons that depends on the usage range. 

Use very little, the rate per 1000 gallons is high, use a LOT and the rate is low.

You forget, Lily. ed's wife doesn't like to shower. That probably saves a lot of water.

Ours is always high.

And there are 6 of us here. So it gets pricy fast.

 but when she DOES take a shower, it's 3 hours (unless her back goes out first, or she's emptied the hot water heater).

Still, $25 a month.

 Ours is usually about $25.  If I go on a cleaning tear and wash everything in sight, it can go up to $35, but that's about it.

My water bill is about $20.59 each month, rarely is it more than that. There must be a minimum charge and I probably never go over a minimum usage. I don't water my lawn and it is only the two of us.

Wow! You guys have some low water bills!smile

Mine drops under $100 in the winter months. (Jan, Feb, and March will come in around $80.)

My July bill was $168.cry

($19 dollars a month is for trash pick up. It's part of the water bill.)

I guess water is less expensive in some parts of the country.

No, not everything, LL!

My natural gas bill is around $25, 8 months of the year.

During winter, it might hit $175-$200, for a month or two.wink

I don't have gas. All electric. And we renegotiated it. We were paying about $400/month and when DH was out of work he called and raised ten kinds of hell. Apparently we were eligible for all kinds of discounts that we weren't getting. Now it's only $150-$200/month depending on the season/weather.

Oh, man. We had an undetected leak in our sprinklers. So far we've had 3 $250 water bills. Even though we had the leak fixed after we got the first bill.
We are supposed to receive some kind of credit. We are starting to think our meter is broken or something because it seems impossible that we could have used an extra 100,000 gallons of water in the last two months without ever seeing any water leaking anywhere.

OUCH! 

Now I'm really glad I don't have an automatic sprinkler system.

My bill is usually $35. I think that is the minimum monthly charge. When a pipe burst in my rental when it was vacant I had a $900 bill. Yikes!
