This figure is 85% of the average water use in the lowest billing period for the previous 3 winters, when landscape use is at it's lowest. I have been able to turn my irrigation off in all but the very driest winters. I've ended up in tier 3 twice because if having to irrigate during dry years but I pay more per unit to do that than someone in tiers 4-7.<br />PowayBloghttp://powayblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057262584896477189.post-64102385840340079762012-10-03T15:38:13.359-07:002012-10-03T15:38:13.359-07:00I've seen this argument of yours before.

It has merit, but it still lacks important considerations.<br /><br />Please correct me if I'm wrong:<br />Estimates vary--but I understand an average user uses about 4 units, 8 units per Poway billing cycle, of water a month. This does not include landscape use. So---if the household in your argument is using 51 units, that equates to 6+ people. Or possibly they have the same number of people in their household as you--and same as you, they use 10 units that ultimately could go down the sewer. The remaining 41 units are used for well-managed irrigation that never touches the sewer. YET--that family is paying $100.17 vs. the $40.98 you pay--for the same sewer use.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
