[quote=sdduuuude]Our Total City Water and Sewer Costs:
2007: $1002
2008: $1111
2009: $1197
2010: $1170
2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs.
1700 sq. ft + garage.
Back lawn, 800 sq. ft.
I take longer showers than any teenager, took the water savers out of the shower heads long ago, and we don’t skimp on watering the garden. Lots of laundry, too.[/quote]
Our bills are similar – maybe $100/year more.
For the most recent 12 months we’ve paid $1260.
2 adults, 2 kids, 1 dog. Part of the year an additional 2 seniors who do a lot of laundry.
2000sf main house + 700sf granny flat.
1/4 acre lot, not much lawn – but lots of garden (groundcover, fruit trees, flowering shrubs, veggie gardens.)
We kept shrinking our lawn because we didn’t like mowing, chemicals to keep it green (weed and feed), and because we wanted to expand our veggie production. Lawns aren’t very practical in So Cal.
