Water Usage - My power/water company popped up showing my water usage from December 2023 vs 2024, it claims I used 24 gallons last year and 13 gallons this December. That can’t be right… how much water do you use each month?

I fill water for chickens outside, water two small garden plots, obviously dishes, showers, toilet, bidet, and the washer machine should be using a lot more than that…

      It sure says gal there but based on your annual chart and common billing in the US I’m guessing the actual billing unit is 1 HCF, which is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons. You could call and ask your utility company to be sure.

      My guess is that the label is wrong. My water bill has the same chart with about double the usage as yours, but same ranges. On mine, the label is “gal (in hundreds)”. I’m betting that some developer just didn’t put the full label on the screen.

        Seems likely, they changed our payment portal recently, so it could be that. The only good thing I’ve found about this company is they do internet as well. So if your lazy like me you can pay electric/water/gas (heater)/ and Internet all in one bill. The internet isn’t great, but it’s definitely been better than what spectrum was when I moved here.

      If you login through the website itself it might tell you. I checked their site to see if it says anything about what unit it uses on their bill and all it would give me is $ per gallon prices for residential customers.
