Water rate comparison table (December 2010)
What do consumers really pay? Water bill vs. true cost to consumer.

The true cost to consumers of water includes treatment fees, connection fees, water supply fees, and water related property tax assessments that do not appear on the water bill but still are paid directly by the consumer. Above rates are as of December 2010 with monthly usage of 20 CCF (1 CCF = one hundred cubic feet).
