I live in North Buffalo, small house with just my g/f and I. Our water bill was just $119. That seems like it’s really high to me. It’s only the second water bill I’ve paid since we remodeled, so I don’t have much of an apples to apples comparison which is why I’m asking… ---

summer bill is 158 IIRC. I get charged(twice) for water hookup/drain in my 4 car garage even tho there is neither in there. They wont remove it either. property def makes up for it tho. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/whats-you-average-water-bill/154968.md?page=2)
