I have had even higher Water bills here... the City Limits runs through my backyard thus house and front yard are "outside of the city... and they charge me over Twice what one street over pays......at one point they were charging me $85.oo base rate on just sewer....then added the amount of gallons used to the sewer charges... thus just the Sewer portion of the bill would well over $100.oo.....
