That sounds awfully high. I pay a basic charge but water is billed at
$2.28 per thousand gallons. The meter reads in increments of 100
gallons. So I pay .0028 cents per gallon. Rate goes up slightly at 6000
gallons.

Sewer is based on water. Twice a week trash collection is $14.33 a month.

I abhor waste but use what I need since it is reasonably priced.
Typical monthly bill is $65 or so.
