[quote=moneymaker]I personally think it is a bunch of crap to tie one’s water usage to the sewer bill. The sewer bill should be a set amount that is equally shared by all. I remember in a college chemistry class the instructor would run the water at full blast after class for several minutes to “clean the pipes”. Well if that is how they are cleaned then I think I’m actually doing the city a favor by using more water. I think it is a tax on those that can afford it more and it is unfair.[/quote]
It’s especially unfair if you’re using greywater (laundry/outdoor shower/etc) to deep water plants.

That’s water used that is NOT going into the sewer.

But it does cut the irrigation portion of the water bill…
