Default Water bill question
Currently I feel like im being bent over sideways on my water bill. For two months for water and sewage it was 450 dollars. Keep in mind we live in a small townhouse and only have 2 people in the house consuming water. Is this normal or is it time to get out of dodge.

Are you with enmax and is your total electrical use included in that #?

You must be losing water somewhere in your system. That's one heck of alot of water. With a 250 gal system with auto topoff and 4 20 gal water changes a month my bill is only 55 bucks.

Yeah ours was $85 but thats sewer and garbage too. Ive filled our 60g and drained it at least 8 times too and I am pretty slow at getting out of the shower. So I think somethings definitely a muck there.

Turn off everything in the house and watch the meter....if it moves, you've got a problem.

Dear lord! Please tell me this number includes your electrical bill! That's higher than my entire enmax (electrical + waste + water) bill. Mine generally comes in at around the $300 mark. Water alone comes in at around $40 give or take.

I would agree, that seems very high...after my 250G salty was up and running my water bill only went up $30, my power bill went up about $40.

My combined bill for power, water, waste etc is around $300/month. Of course there are some fluctuations but in general that is the mean.
