This is a portion of my utility bill for the latest month. Now, you can see the extra digit in the gallons used to reflect "hundreds", in addition to what used to shown as just one digit meaning "thousands." According to this, I used 3,000 gallons of water last month. If I divide the total water charge of $24.31 by 3 (water is billed per thousands, now hundreds of gallons used), I get a rate of $8.10 per thousand. This is not including taxes and not including sewer. Sewer, in theory, should be the same as the water charge. This is higher than any of the rates quoted in the recent PBP article.
Am I missing something?
