As it is, though we have plenty of rain most of the time (too much, most of the time!), we have a rain barrel attached to one of the gutters at the back and we use that to water the veg garden and the lawn on days that it's dry. I pay somewhere between £9-13 pounds a month for water. I know it will be different when we move to Salt Lake City, but although it is desert there, it is high desert, with water supplies coming from the snow in the mountains. Hears hoping for great ski seasons, even though I don't ski!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026130049183231368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-19468432409615550832010-05-28T08:49:10.534-05:002010-05-28T08:49:10.534-05:00And there go my dreams of retiring to Palm Springs...And there go my dreams of retiring to Palm Springs, uh, down the drain.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18003316530755458623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-12424549074372581662010-05-28T07:55:15.874-05:002010-05-28T07:55:15.874-05:00OMG!

But, even in a part of the country without high water bills, I don't bother watering the lawn. That just seems like a bother and waste.house thingshttp://houseitemsandroomsilike.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-66299070563158326522010-05-28T04:38:53.773-05:002010-05-28T04:38:53.773-05:00We never paid for water in NY as we had a well.

My neighbor (who obviously has deeper pockets) routinely pays 6-900 dollars monthly to water his lawn.

Actual water usage was 3,792 gallons which added an additional $8.11.<br /><br />Hook-up fees are incredible too. $11,697 for a water connection; $12,014 for a sewer connection.<br /><br />Needless to say, treated water is a precious commodity, and houses with connections to water and sewer are priced accordingly...high.Gail, in northern Californianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-85413624910600506622010-05-27T22:43:02.390-05:002010-05-27T22:43:02.390-05:00My (1 adult) bill is less than $40 a month: we do...My (1 adult) bill is less than $40 a month: we don't realize how well we have it in the Eastern half of the US.
