Water Use Calculator | The Power of 10%
I used the
water use calculator and got less than 2,000 gallons a month
(in winter), for my retired family of two..
If we used a full 2,000 gallons, that would be $2.34 cents a month???
But, If we were in the 2,000 to 9,000 gallon a month bracket,
8,000 gallons would cost us $63.36 a month. A bit more than $2 a day! (for 266 gallons a day).
A little less than a penny a gallon.?.
Seems like the smart thing to do in Austin, is to stay under 2,000 gallons a month..
If that's even possible..
