Your utility bill
explained
Why
is my usage always an even number?
Usage
is calculated in whole thousands. For example: If your meter reads 362,422, your meter
reading on your bill would be 362,000 and the remaining 422 gallons would be reflected on the next bill.
This way our system bills out in whole thousands.
My
usage seems high this month, why?

There
are several things that can increase your usage in a month. Here are some to keep in
mind.
- Some water softeners use between 200 - 400 gallons each time they are set to
regenerate. A water softener should regenerate approximately every other
week for a family of four.
Warmer weather means more showers, baths and outside water usage.
Holidays - keep in mind extra guests means more water used!
- Possible leaks - toilet, sink or outside faucet.
