Piece of cake. My bill normally comes in at $350, maybe $400 on a bad month.

 

I don't have irrigation so around $70. Our issue is they tie our sewage bill to our water which is a huge reason why I have not done a renovation, especially on the front yard as it needs it bad. Last year I attempted an overseed and spent about $200 on water and had a sewage bill to match. No fighting that either.

I do plan on drilling my own well although it may not be enough to water the lawn with. You can use these with pressure tanks and electric pumps. I'll be getting the kit here:

Mine is ~ $100/mo. Thankfully, our sewer fees are based on the water bills between November 1st[/sup] & Feb 29[sup]th. I don't water between those dates, so the sewer fees are low.

It's kinda bad luck to have high water prices combined with hot weather and sandy soils.

 

Free(ish). The cost of running the pump to get it from the well, but that's about it.

 

I feel blessed. lol. I've paid $35 a month since I bought the home 2 yrs ago. It has never fluctuated. I'm beginning to think my meter might be malfunctioning. That includes sewer and refuse.

+1 I'm also on a well and even when doing my renovation this June I didn't notice the electricity bill go up that much. It was less than I expected it to be

 

mine is done quarterly so we shall see lol

I have a well. Probably goes up like $50 on heaviest months.

 

Mine is roughly $175-$200 during the growing season, watering heavy twice a week. It wouldn't be more than $75 or so but the sewer formula uses total gallons so I'm paying sewer prices on irrigation water.

 

$60.00-$100.00. The ladder being a bad month. I water about .46 inches every 3 days since the weather is around 100 degrees daily.

 

$300 to $400 in Madison. Water and sewage are tied together.

 

Mine is together with sewage and trash/recycling pick up. Runs around 85 most months, but when I do run the sprinklers (like now) it'll reach 100-110.

 

Luckily up till now we've had a decent amount of rain in Harvest. We have a flat rate for sewage. I'm expecting $100-$150 for the month of July but I'm not always the best at watering. That price is likely to go up when I get an irrigation system next year.

My irrigation is off my well, but the rest of my house is city water.

 

I just amortize the water bill throughout the year. During winter and fall when the bill is basically nothing, I'll pay $80/m so when summer rolls around, I have a fairly large credit balance

 

Around $250/month.

7000k sq. ft, each zone 30mins/ twice a week.

 

Last year I watered two zones on Mon-Wed-Fri (front), and the other two Tue-Thurs (back) and my bill ran from $110.00- $130.00 per month. This year I installed the Rachio and I am right at $85 - $95 per month with the Rachio watering based on weather conditions.

Heeeeeey, where in madison do you live? I'm on the Limestone side of county line!

 

My water bill is usually around $125-150 during the growing season but drops of by about $50-75 during the offseason. My water is billed with sewer and they charge you for how much water you use whether it's irrigation or not, so shortly after I moved in I got an "irrigation meter" which doesn't charge the sewer fee so it paid for itself in a year or two in my estimate.

Estimate on how much the second water meter was? In my town it seems like a complicated thing to do. Ive asked and they just look at me like I'm stupid lol. I couldn't get an estimate on how much it'd be for mine. This was 3 years ago, I'm gonna try to find out what I need to do to get one installed.

As I recall, my second meter and mainline tap was about $750. There are some variables (like meter size) that can influence the cost (e.g. I think a 1" meter would have been more like $1,000).

I estimated my irrigation water consumption and calculated the avoided sewer fees on that volume. I think I came up with a simple payback of about 2-3 years.

Having winter averaging or other rate mechanisms that are favorable to irrigation customers is the best answer, but when that's not an option a second meter is definitely worth considering. It's also nice to not have to worry about any pressure loss in the house when the irrigation system is running.

 

I think the meter was something like $700-800 plus I had to pay a plumber to put it in. It came out to about $1000 installed. This was 10 years ago though so the prices may have gone up some.

Our community uses winter averaging, so a second meter isn't needed. Make sure your community doesn't use it before looking at a second meter. However, I was quoted ~ $2.3K for a second meter (I can't remember if that was 3/4 or 1 inch).

 

Wow ok i will do my research then. Thanks guys!

 

One time it was 641.00 due to an underground leak a a valve but normal heavy hitter months are July, October, and January 300-400$
