Houston baws, how much is your water bill?

I haven’t really started my sprinklers yet and I’m at $275. We are getting screwed. They were completely inept in maintaining the whole entire water and sewer system and now they are just screwing us
ETA: 12,000 gallons just shy of $275

You have a leak or 48 daughters

No leak just the cost of using water in Houston

Mine is $89 for last month, but the sprinklers were just cut on last week.
Serious question, do you have a water leak?

Have you considered installing a water cistern to catch rain water?

If you were paying 4$/1000 gallons…a 275$ water bill would mean almost 70k gallons of water per month.
What the frick are you doing?

I’ll have to look at my bill later but I’m pretty sure that was for 15,000 gallons.

Pretty sure you are clueless

If your water bill is $275, you have a leak somewhere

Do you have a pool? If so do you have an automatic water filler?
That’s common to have a pool leak and your automatic filler is running all the time.
Either way something is off

Houston's water department is completely inept. There is a reporter at channel 2 that is good at revealing the bullshite residents have to deal with. The new mayor is supposed to fix it but I have a feeling he's just another politician that blows smoke and won't do shite

Yeah that’s a leak somewhere. Or the meter reader can’t read.

During the summer we pay consistently over $270. We don’t have a leak, but in our neighborhood water is very expensive. We’re in Montgomery County.

Go read the meter yourself, the water department is one small step ahead of incompetence. They sent me one for $650 many years ago and even after sending them a picture of the meter gauge that was way below the stated reading, they still said I had a leak. Had to send an email to Ted Poe and the mayor to get those morons to revise the bill. Like I said, one small step ahead of incompetence.

About $200 right now. It’ll be $500+ this summer if I try to keep my yard alive.
Posted on 3/31/24 at 9:40 am to thadcastle
$42 last month. I had a leak last year and it briefly got up around $100.

Less than New Orleans for certain. Best move my wife ever made was selling a house in NOLA she inherited just because of the water bill.

A lot of people weighing in who obviously have no familiarity with Houston water/wastewater bills.
Water bill calculator Harris County
10K gallons get you a $218 bill.

I visited Houston recently for the museum district and was lucky enough to find out about the historic Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern tour. It's a huge empty underground reservoir. The guide told us some gross stories from Houston's drinking water history, such as how in the early 1900's government corruption and incompetence led to people getting straight bayou water for drinking and eels used to clog up the plumbing.

Anyway, it was a pretty cool tour. If you're lucky, you'll get the tour guide that concludes with singing beautifully accompanied by the 17 second echo.
