If anybody else is willing to chip in their information, lets look at the following criteria for water consumption on your utility bills:

# of days: 125
Consumption: 158 cubic meters
# occupants in household: 4
Tank volume: ~ 300g
Sewer and water rate cost: $143

how much of that is for your sewer? I pay 60 bucks every 3 months for water. and it didn't change when I got the tanks.

water rate is about 46 cents and sewer rate is about 53 cents so just a little over 50% (about $73) is sewer rate and about $70 is water.
so that sounds about right at $70 for water.

I have a 120 gallon, and my water and electricity runs me about $50 a month. I reuse my waste water in the washing machine, so it's not really much of a waste.

I forget the rate per 1000 liters, but water worked out more than electricity.

I am not sure exactly what my water costs. I do know that I use more than my share. One of the benefits of living in a strata is, that in my case 73 other strata owners help pay for my excessive use.
