I dunno. My water bills average $200/mo, for a single home (no pool, mostly drought resistent yard, etc). We're in an area with low density (out in the country).

I pay about $120 in fees. Then the water is the rest of it.

In winter, when we use less water, my bill goes down to about $130. $10 worth of water per month.

They may be charging you more per gallon in the summer. Also, rural municipalities need to charge higher fees and taxes per person to recoup their costs. This is due to the fact that they have to maintain a water system that serves a larger area but fewer people.

I guess the $200 is ugly enough as it is.
