I just got my water/garbage/sewage bill...due to some rain plus my perennial habit of using kitchen gray water on my gardens, my daily solar heated 1 gallon rain water showers in the back and retrieving that gallon, only peeing outdoors, deep mulching, relying heavily on home made Water Wise Container Gardens and rain barrels, the water use portion was just $6.27! Cool when I consider how many food crops and roses I grow here.
