My better half and I are considering a move to Albuquerque in about a year. What is the average cost of water for a year for a residential home. Let's say a home about 2000 square foot with occupants.

Our annual cost =$700.
Family of four.
Westside home of approx 2,000 square feet.
Two evaporative coolers.
Dishwasher is hardly ever used.
Large lot (plus quarter acre) with lots of greenery, pond + waterfall, & vegetable garden.
We are a family of four, live on the west side and have a large back yard & lawn with a large maple shade tree and many other shrubs & flowering plants. Front yard is xeriscaped. Four showers a day, dishwasher run 4 times a week, and 12+ loads of laundry a week. Our last month's water bill was:
water: $32.18
water testing tax 3.3% .56
capital contribution .56
franchise fee 1.31
tax 1.73
Westside Albuquerque, family of 4, $700.
Eastside Albuquerque, family of 4, $1000.
(Just for example.. Eastside has a lawn, westside has.. well.. no yard to put a lawn).
Those look like good estimates. We live near Tramway/Montgomery. Our yard is 2/3 acre...some of which is zeriscaped but we have a few areas of grass and some big trees to water. We wash clothes (3 people) once a week, use the dishwasher 3-4 times a week, and our water/sewer bill totaled $1210 for the past 12 months. My guess is we use a little less water indoors than average people but certainly more outdoors because of the size of the yard.
