Houston baws, how much is your water bill?

You have a leak or 48 daughters

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

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

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.

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.

Are there any additional fees such as sewer and garbage?

Lafourche Parish recently went to a monthly fee added to water bills instead of collecting an extra sales tax for garbage pickup.


275 is pretty close to my electricity bill.

I'm convinced some utility companies just make shite up at times.

After the cold snap back in January people in my general area (North AL) were getting hit with big electricity bills. They were a decent amount higher than the comparable cold snap in December of 2022, but they have reasons for that bump. What we did notice, though, is an odd issue with bill totals.

Now, I know the following could be all coincidence, but I have my doubts. Three households separated by about five miles. Each household has entirely different families/living arrangements. All three had, to the penny and same usage, the exact same bill. If one wants to bring in Facebook evidence, that same bill was also distributed to a few others. Very interesting.

It’s possible OP is including sewer? My water bill is high - verified no leaks. Water is 80 with no sprinklers - sewer is about the same cost as the water so about $160. In a winter month that’s high. Houston area.

Yes mine is $300 a month. More than electricity the last 4 months. Just dumb. We’re a family of four and use no more water than anyone else. I don’t have a leak either. It’s ridiculous.
