I'm curious to see how many people on this board are on a well.


I grew up on a well. And until we sold our old house back in 06 and moved into town, I was still on a well.

As for now, my utility bill usually runs about $85 or so per month. But that also includes trash pickup as well.

Water is $21/month. Can't use the well due to the oil/gas over the last century polluting the ground water. The water service draws from aquifer.

No sewer, septic system. Just paid $2100 for a septic overhaul. Original install was 1987 and this overhaul has lifetime expectancy of 45 years.

60 to 125 or so for water/sewer/trash, depending on season.

The sewer component of Shreveport's bill is slated to keep increasing on the reg. Gotta get compliant with environmental laws.

Ill post the obligatory ...bout tree fiddy.

My sewer is anywhere from 3 to 4 times the water bill. It varies because the first 2 CCF ( hundred cubic feet) is a set charge for both water and sewer. My rate for the remaining water is $1.70 per CCF and $7.31 per CCF for sewer. I pay anywhere between 0.66 cents to 0.37 cents per gallon for water only.
Surprisingly my irrigation water (out of the same pipe) is a consistent 0.39 cents per gallon.

Some utilities charge more for irrigation water than domestic water...go figure.

I remember Baton Rouge having insane sewage rates.
Then we filled a pool and they used that month's sewage rate for six months.
So I would have $15 water and $65 sewage.

Water, sewer, trash on one bill here. Usually around $60-$70 a month. Maybe a little more than that in the summer months when our sprinklers go off more often.

Water plus trash = $27/month; I've never gone over the minimum water volume.

No sewer, I've got a septic tank. Sewer is pretty expensive here so people go with septic tanks when they can.
