Average Water Bill?

[Bryan Schwegler]

Since I've never had to pay for water before the last 2 months, I honestly have no concept of what a water bill should be. I don't think mine was high at all but of course I could be using way too much water and not know it.

So in Lakewood, how much is your average water bill?

Mine is around $75 with 5 people living in my house, and my youngest never turns the sink off

I think ours is $43 and change. Two people.

Thanks guys. Mine this last month was $36.00 for two of us so it doesn't seem to bad.

It's good to have some perspective.

For NEOSD "subscribers" Don't forget the separate SEWER charges which are greater than water use charges .

Also Sewer water volume calculations in summer use average winter volumes ( ie assumes summer excess vs Winter volume due to lawn watering etc ) and thus you save some $$$ on sewer portion if summer use significantly greater than winter use .

You have to make arrangements for that in the spring (I think April 30th was the cut-off). It was on the water bill, but reading about it and then making a phone call were separated by about two months, by my calculations...
