During the month of August, we had significant increases in water consumption on 5 of the 25 water meters on property. This resulted in a water bill of over $35,000.00, which is about 46% of our monthly income from assessments. Lately, the water bill has averaged about $31,000 per month and this has always been our largest monthly expense.
The most significant increase was on part of West Mountain Creek Drive which doubled from 165,000 gallons to 335,000 gallons for the month.
The other 4 meters showing increases 2 on the East side and 2 on the West at these volumes:
- From 62, 000 gallons to 96, 000 gallons (West)
- From 83,000 gallons to 108, 000 gallons (West)
- From 268, 000 gallons to 321,000 gallons (East)
- From 265,000 gallons to 324,000 gallons (East)
Some meters showed a decrease in water consumption, but the majority showed increased usage. Part of the total water bill is the City billing us for Waste Water (sewer) based on our water consumption, which averages about $11,000 per month and is a part of the total water bill.
Please follow the current GP Water Restrictions and help us keep our water bill as low as possible. When watering grass, plants, etc, please do not allow water to run down the street and into storm drains. Here’s a link to the City’s water conservation info.
