Water bills are based upon meter readings indicating the amount of water delivered to the customer. The typical usage for a single-family residence is approximately 250 gallons per day (without lawn irrigation), adding up to 7,500 gallons per month. The most common reasons for high water usage are excessive irrigation and leaky plumbing fixtures.
