How do I calculate my water bill?

The water consumption printed on your utility bill represents your water usage in thousands* of gallons. So a bill that shows a consumption of 14 means that you used 14,000 gallons during the billing cycle. To calculate your water charge you need to find the correct Water Rate Chart and minimum bill for your account.

Sample taken from Residential-Inside City Limits Rates.

Billed Consumption of 14 or 14,000 gallons
First 2,000 gallons is $10.06 (Minimum Bill)
The next 8,000 Gallons is $3.07 per thousand
The next 10,000 gallons are $2.66 per thousand

First 2 = $10.06
Next 8*$3.07= $24.56
Next 4*$2.66= $10.64 B

Bill for 14 consumption: $10.06 + $24.56 + $10.64 = $45.26

*Some accounts have large meters that our billing system adds a multiplier to before calculating the bill.
