How many gallons are you being billed for?

My husband and I have aqua too and our sewer is $65/quarter and our water bill is like $30-60 a month.

That seems crazy high and you may want to have your bill re-visited or have a plumber check your home for leaks.

I agree though - aqua is a nightmare. My friends utilities are like $60/quarter total for water and sewer because it’s just through the township. I hate the privatization of utilities.

Yeah but it depends on how many gallons you’re using and how much they charge per gallon. My water bill has never been that high so just trying to understand if it’s a regional pricing difference or usage or what

From AQUA?

I’d call and dispute that. We also have them, my bill last month was $20.30. The highest it’s ever been was around $85. We have a dishwasher, oversized bathtub, and a washing machine.

Is it that your washing machine is an old model? Or are your toilets running constantly? After we replaced our toilet flapper things our bill went down like $30 because they weren’t running constantly.

I think it really depends on where you live and what the water system was that Aqua bought. I have Aqua at my place in the mountains and it was previously a HOA-owned system that only serves that particular development. Has its own well and treatment plant. I imagine our rates are higher because of the scale of the system being rather small. For a house I might be at 2 weeks a month at most our bills are routinely $100+. It would be $65 just for the "customer charge" on the water and sewer even if I didn't use a drop.
