TL;DR: TL;DR: Consistent water consumption, but our Conservice water/sewer charges for our apartment have skyrocketed. 1,180 gallons cost us $45.35 in 2025 vs. $170.14 now. Is this normal, and who else is dealing with this?? ———————————————————————————————————– We are getting charged SO MUCH for water and sewer and I am so confused as to why this is happening. Just got our most recent bill due in Oct, highest one yet! Is this normal??? This does NOT include the sewer capacity fee, which is separate. I live in a 1-bed apartment in a newer building with one other person and our water usage is pretty consistent, yet our rates are all over the place. Tested our water meter and it works fine. I made these charts showing the approximate “rates” for water and sewer based on the charges for each vs the number of gallons of water we used, and as you can see it varies a lot and has increased. I get that water is more expensive in summer months, but that doesn’t really seem to explain how we are paying almost 4x as much for water now? In July 2025 our bill was for 1180 gallons and we were charged 45.35, whereas for the exact same usage of 1180 gallons, our Oct 2026 bill is $170.14. I would love to get in touch with anyone else who is facing this issue and trying to investigate. What have you done so far, and what are the results? I sent my property manager an e-mail asking for the building’s total water bills for these months, along with a more specific breakdown of how our usage and bill was calculated. The Conservice 5% allocation explanation is confusing and vague to me. submitted by /u/cuculagirl |
