UNIT COST PER 1000 GALLONS
Single-Family Residential
0 - 2,000 Gallons 1.17 $
2,001 - 9,000 Gallons 3.08
9,001 - 15,000 Gallons 7.92
15,001 - 25,000 Gallons 10.95
25,001 - over Gallons 12.19

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..
