the last house I lived in I put in a water sprinkly system, to avoid sewer tax on watering my land I had a seperate meter put in for only the sprinkling system...no sewer tax on that system...cut my bill in 1/2 of doing that.
HA..here in the Northwest they tax and fee charge us on EVERYTHING....every year they have to CHECK our SPRINKLER valve or some such thing....costs, oh, something like $30...that on top of sewer charge (flat) and water....and we live in a place where they’d probably tax the rain if they could figure out how to do it...which I’m sure they are working on, although I think that’s part of what the “sewer charge” is about.
