[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have water bills from 15 years ago in my files and it is amazing how water is now regularly $200 a month. 15 years go it was $45. Same house.  [/quote]

Sounds like most of it is from the impervious surface fees which are proportional to the size of your house and amount of concrete/asphalt on your property. If you're paying that much in impervious surface fees you must have a pretty big house in which case I have zero sympathy for the extra $150 a month compared to the hundreds of thousands in equity you gained in that same time period.

In DC, the rich are more likely to have homes/SFHs with yards with more permeable surfaces, whereas the poor are more likely live in rowhomes with yards that don't have permeable surfaces. Just saying.[/quote]

Not just poor people but poor people with kids. When you have children you use waaaaaay more water. [/quote]
