Baroclinic Zone Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 17 minutes ago, BrianW said: I pay a $20 monthly connection charge and then $3 a ccf (748 gallons). I only heavily water my fenced in 4000 sqft yard mainly for the dogs. Lawns need about an inch of water a week and that works out to about .6 gallons per sqft. So my 4000 sqft lawn needs about 2400 gallons to get 1 inch of water. That would be a little over 3 ccf or about $10 dollars. My winter bill averages $30-35 a month in the non summer months and around $80 watering in the summer. Just received my quarterly water/sewer and without any watering of anything, my water portion was $96.28. The thing is we get charged on the water usage going back into the sewer, unless you install a meter on the outflow that you have to get through the City.

40/70 Benchmark Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 With the way everything is waffling, I'd just go with the national blend and ensembles...expect about 1/2 of liquid for most of eastern MA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The town of scituate I believe had already handed out over 100 citations I believe. Those restrictions extend to private well water too in many areas. So you can be fined for watering even if you have your own well Lol Massachusetts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The August 5th Surface Reservoir Capacity Measurements and Trends has the states reservoirs at 94.3% of normal. https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Drinking-Water/DWS/Reservoir-Data Yes totally true even ground water levels were lower just last year.

40/70 Benchmark Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I guess if I had to choose, I actually want the storm because its a bit of a warm up for the cold season and if nothing else, at least gets me accustomed to posting again. Break up the monotony a bit without the anxiety of being heavily invested like winter, when the stakes are higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
