We have six people living here. Now, some are kids and happy not to shower for weeks. However, how does the water co know how many people are in the house?
We have tiered water rates for a long time where I live. The amount of water you are allowed to use without paying on a higher tier is based on the number for bedrooms in the house. You cal also request more water based on the number of people in the house. I saw the drought building two years ago and did not cut water use because I knew if they did ration it would a % cut from a previous year.
remember the census?....they will be using census data as the baseline for charges ..yes Charges,,,such...as FELONY OVERWATERING
