It appears that we are paying $44.90/mo. for water and maintenance of the sewer pipelines. We are also paying $21.26/mo. for wastewater disposal by the regional water authority. The total is $66.16/mo. I checked with OS Water Department and was told the average home uses about 7000 gallons of water per month and their water rate is $6.50 for the first 3000 gallons and $1.25 for each 1000 gallons more. So for a typical home, the OS water rates are $10.25/month. So it looks like we are paying $34.65 too much per month. How will that affect the marketability of our homes.
