Good job.
LOL ! Speaking of neighbors with hoses. I had a really nice hose I bought about 50 feet long. I had it attached to my place. One day I came home and the neighbors removed my hose and attached it to their house....

I was pissed..I waited until they went to work and got it back and attached it back to my house !

My bill says 80 . And then $ 8.00 for charge . I assume 80 means cubic feet ? I am not good with math ! lol...

Sorry. I was looking at one of my spreadsheets at work and it does indeed say 100 cubic feet = 748 gallons. Our water bill comes in hundred cubic feet measurements because it has 200 units in it.

I tend to express the thoughts others may also have, but are too polite to share.

Sounds about right. You pay $0.10/cf or $0.013/gallon. So something like flushing the toilet costs about .013*1.6, or 2 cents/flush.

If you're using 4 inches of water and your bath tub is 30"x60", you're using about 4cf of water, or $0.40 for each bath.

Actually, you're bath tub must be smaller if you're bathing every day, since that would add up to more than 80cf for the month.
