Yes, if you live in the country and have a well yours is free.
A cousin from Tucson says her water is $80/month for just household. No lawn or garden.
Whats yours for you who have city water?
Our sewer, water, trash is $174/ 2 months

$45 for regular month - $100 when I am watering garden and fruit trees. It is a bargain

I just got on rural water last fall. I got a monthly statement last week and it was $74.64 $65 is for being hooked up, $9.64 for the water we used. Our well water was real hard. It would eat a washing machine in a year to two. You could not drink it. So I was happy to get rural water. Hauling drinking water and going to town once a week and doing was was not free. It cost me about $20 a week doing wash and $6 for drinking water.

Oh how wrong you are...

I have a well. Over the years I have replaced the well pump once, the pressure tank twice. Fixed a broken waterline at the well and due to having sulfer water we have a clorinater, carbon filter, softener system and a reverse osmosis for the drinking water. All of which require maintenance and supplies to keep them running.

I may not have a monthly water bill , but it is far from free.

city water bills usually 74 dollars that includes water, sewer. trash and also water runoff (dont get me started about this bravo sierra.. they charge me $ 5.25 a month for water that runs off the driveway an sidewalks into the storm sewer.

goes up to 100 or so if i have to water the garden. I try to keep enough water stored for that usually unless its a dry spell for an extended time

water and electric are on one bill that runs about 125 a month the water is probably more like the 25
Sewer is on another bill by it's self and that runs about 35 a month and used to be 45 a month with an additional person.

when summer hits the electric bill climbs

a guess would be around 60-70 dollars a month for water and sewer

natural gas is a third bill

garbage is on the property tax bill and is paid annually


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

My pump is on a separate meter so I pay $38 a month for electricity which is the minimum fee. When irrigating with our household pump it goes about double that in the summer months. I've got 37 years and counting on this pump so far. Pressure tank needs to be replaced soon though...has a bladder pinhole leak.

Rural water. Could easily have well but no from the wife. Read your own meter. Increments are 100 gallons. Minimum monthly is 1000 gallons. Water comes from wells in the river bottom. Here are some of our rates per month:
1000 gallons=$42
3000=$59
6000=$80
10000=$100
20000=$182

Ours is $33.00 this month. Bill came in the mail today. We have a well we use for lawn and garden watering. In 30 years, we had to replace the pump once.

Im on a well also, and agree it's not free but tough to put a monthly electric and problems total/ different every year. And with electricity rates going through the roof who knows

I'm on a shallow well, between maintenance and electric, while not free it's reasonable, I have city water running now at the road, just recently, That I can hook up to, but for the asking price of 20g I'll stay on the well....

The late fee's are less than the postage to mail it in!

The sewer bill is tied to the water bill.

we are in a subdivision of about 90-100 homes. It was started in the late eighties/ early nineties.
We have a private water system. Deep well, small tower/reservoir , distribution lines ,etc. ( we're also very fortunate that we have a licensed water/sewer operator living here)

Our water bill just went up to 18 $ a month. It was 16$ a month when we moved here.

We've been here for more than 10 years ,but our previous water and sewer bill from the city ,was more than $ 100,every month.

what ever it cost to run the pump to get the water from the spring to the house.
county water is undrinkable here, might as well get a bottle of bleach and drink it

Look at all you city slickers...

I just had a new pressure tank & Water Conditioner

System installed last week by Culligan..

5100.00 ...if that makes you feel any Bettah.

But the last system lasted 29 years.

And a septic pump every 2 years...cost 445.00

Well and septic system here too. Both were installed in 1969. I bought the place in 1989.

In the last 37 years I've replaced the submersible pump (well pump) twice and the pressure tank once. We've only had the septic tank pumped four times. If you don't dump nasty chemicals down the drains you will have a healthy population of beneficial bacteria that ill break down solids making frequent pumping an unnecessary expense.

I don't know what that comes too monthly but I'm guessing it's a lot less than what I'm reading that folks are paying for city/town supplied water and sewer.


Eh...wot?

20 years and going. 1.- pressure tank, 2- pressure switches, and 1 - well pump. Overall, about $600 divided by 20 = $30.00 per year or $2.50 per month.

Mine runs about the same as yours, and also like you I live in a house full of women. I swear the washing machine runs 20 hours a day.

Yes I have a well. But that doesn't make it free. It takes electricity to pump it up to the pressure tank. Oh buy the way they run several hundred to replace. As I found out a couple years ago. The submersible pump cost me $1200 back in February to replace. So I wouldn't exactly say well water is free.
