This is a month i dont water my garden or lawn. The cost is pennies  difference from just the cost of the water, so i paid $35.58 for just water and $35.96 for water run off. Over $70 dollars a month for a water bill compared to my electric bill of $79. A friend of mine lives on a gravel street, he asked about the fee and said i have no gutters for the water to run into and that it just soaks in the ground how can you make me pay it. They said the water runs to the river eventually. LOL He is miles form any river. I just love paying to use the water and then paying for it to soak into my garden.
My electric bill is low because i use natural gas for heating,
