They were most helpful I might add. The six inch meter is for the fire line. Since we never use it, the cost is always the minimum charge at that point in time. We do utilize the two inch meter. Minimum usage is 0 to 4500 gallons per billing.
Sewer is billed based on the water consumption following the same pattern as described above.
The domestic line is billed for both water and sewer charges. Therefore, the water that gets sprinkled on the flowers and pine straw is also charged for sewer fees. This can be changed. If we were to install an irrigation meter for the water that is used for watering the lawn, we would only be billed for water. Yes, the sewer fees would not be applied to water that was passing through the irrigation meter and being used to water the vegetation.
