Sometimes the water isn’t the issue, it’s the sewer part of the bill. Around here they bill the sewer proportional to your water use, and the sewer system is a century old crumbling ruin that was allowed to get that bad, like most US infrastructure, due to government negligence. Water for a house with 5 people and one laundry cost $2000 last year. Taxes were $8k. That’s $10k before any mortgage or maintenance costs.
