“””The average Chicago homeowner’s water and sewer bill is $114.30, billed every other month, city officials have said.”””

$114.30 billed every other month or $57.15 per month looks pretty cheap to me. I am paying just over $80 per month for water and sewer.

Using the average amount paid for these utilities is pointless. I think a more realistic figure would me the median amount paid.

The city sits right on the shores of the world’s largest fresh water source, and dumps much of it waste water (after treatment) down the Mississippi through the Sanitary Canal.

Go a few miles inland to the collar counties, and you’ll start to find water and sewer bills that look like yours. But the point is city dwellers should have relatively inexpensive water, and have had it, but soon won’t, because of Democrat incompetence and corruption.

It depends on how many people live in your household, and it depends on the area where you live. I remember when we paid $5 per month for water. We didn’t have sewer then, they put that in our street and area when we were stationed in Germany

Here in the Houston suburbs our basic bill is pennies more than $50 most of the year and rises to close to $60 month when it is dry and we have to run the sprinklers three times a week. Seems like you are paying a lot more than we are.

Not sure what Chicago is complaining about either.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

About $60 per month here for my family. Some places include garbage pick up with water and sewage, mine doesn’t. That’s another $50 quarterly from a choose your own contractor.

Pay over $200 a month in Florida despite being surrounded by unlimited amount of water.
