Howmuch is your monthly water bill at home?

[Mikey P]

And do you fill up your fresh tanks at home/shop or at your first job?

We're getting dinged $200 a month now.


Time for plastic grass.

Mine has been $100 the past few months. It is rising all the time. I have been starting to use the customer's water more since the price of water has been increasing.

 

[Mike Draper]

$200.00 a month, only in California. My bill is usually $12-15.00 I live in the middle of town and usually fill up 2x per day in the summer. 110 gallons each time.

Salty?

 

[Jim Martin]

ours is $85 to $90 a month and that includes
filling the truck tank 5 to 6 times a week.
watering my grass 3 times a week..
all the plants out front 3 times a week
and keeping a 4 year old clean 3 times a day......

we can't complain......

 

[Shane T]

$150 a quarter and the sewer cost is the larger portion of the bill. I probably only use about 100 gallons a day in the truck.

Like Terry, I have a well, but I also have municipal sewerage so they charge a flat rate of roughly $80/ month for my "water bill"

 

[Dolly Llama]

it comes from the ground.

I don't know how much electric is used a month to run a deep well pump

..L.T.A.

Last month here in Santiago, Dominican Repubublic our water bill was 596 pesos, sewer was 148 pesos and a hit or miss weekly pickup of trash was 125 pesos for a grand total of 869 pesos which at 34 pesos per dollar brings it to a grand total of 25.55 US. That's the good news.

The bad news? Let me count the ways:

1. You can never, ever drink the water we receive and it even isn't real safe to shower with so we run it through a serious filter system for everything that comes into the home. Cost about 500 bucks US and ...

2. We never know when we'll go without water for a week (or two) so we have a 5,000 gallon cistern with a pump even though we live in the middle of the city. The cistern cost about 2,000 bucks to build with the pump another 200 plus ...

3. Since we never know when we'll have a 12 hour blackout with no power to run the pump we have a 2.5 kilowatt invertor along with 8 golf cart batteries. Cost about 2,000.00 US for the invertor plus around 800 dollars for the batteries which wear out about every two years due to constant use. And ...

4. The golf cart batteries fail after about 12- 16 hours so we also have a 10 kilo diesel generator to run the house on the 24 hour blackouts which are increasingly common. Cost? Around 7,000.00 plus diesel at almost 7.00 US per gallon!

Overall, Mike, I'd say that 200 bucks per month looks pretty good!

PS Our water bill for our house in the states runs around 40.00 per month.

Fill up at my house with 75 gallons each day but rest at customers. Family of 5, $80-$100/mo

 

[Lee Stockwell]

$12 dollars per month. Great water from a county-wide system originating from a deep well.

I had "free" water at the farm in Almo, but the pump probably cost more than $12 for electricity.

We still drink a lot of bottled water, which probably isn't worth a nickle more than our tap water....but explain that to the wife?

 

[Charlie Lyman]

$50 month on a bad month. I usually fill up at home before my 1st job.

 

[Scott]

Same as Odin.

Best water on the planet. Tastes better than any bottled water junk, neutral pH, medium hardness, and free except for the electricity to pump it.

[RC Eden Carpet Cleaning]

Mines right around $100. I fill up my 100 gallon tank when I leave my house in the morning then the rest of the day I use the custy's water as much as possible.

 

[adamh]

$15 a month unlimited use. Community well

 

[The Magician]

$15 monthy

 

[Craig Lindquist]

We have a well at the shop with softener and filtration systems.

 

[Wandslinger]

$350 to $400. Pool plus 3/4 of an acre doesn't help. Oh yea, there is a tier charge because I live up a hill..

 

[Curtis Pennington]

35-45 dollars and that is running 4- trucks......water cheap here.

 

[B&BGaryC]

No water bill this month so far. No water either.

 

[Guest]

About $45.00 mo. I fill up at the house, and then refill often at the customer's

 

[John Buxton]

Were on a well. I spent 1200 last year on a new pump, line, pressure tank and broken underground connection.

Add in a softener, iron filter, 4 bags of salt a month, and under counter rv system and it aint "free".

 

[TimP]

I think ours is 40-50 a month which includes garbage pick up too. We are getting sewer within a year or two...and that will add 20 a month I'm told. I usually don't fill up too much at home....and we hardly ever water our yard...that's what rain is for.

[Desk Jockey]

[R W]

About $70-80 a month, but that includes sewer and trash pick-up. I use customers water, but I could have used a holding tank this morning for a rental cleaning that had water shut off.
