I don't know how much this is in cubic meters but,..
There is a base fee of about $40 then
For 0-8 hundred cubic feet I pay about $4 per HCF
One HCF is about 750 Gallons
It goes up slightly if I go over 8 HCF but I don't so I don't see that.

p.s. I live in San Diego, CA. Water is not so bad here, but don't get me started on the power prices. If I get into Teir 4 (Which is very easy to do) I pay almost 40 cents per KWH. I have a friend who got a $1,500 bill because he ran the AC way too hard one month. You really have to conserve power around here.
We hit $250 and we had the AC set at 82.

You should move to louisiana. Our power is always cheap and water is like 40$ and that's with topping off a pool weekly
I got a notification from city letter starting there will be increase rate next bill due to drought.

1m³ = 264US gal so I guess I'm paying about $3 x 2 per 264g because what gets flushed to the drain is basically charged the same price.
Last water bill was $500 for 2 months.....mind you I have 2 teenage daughters.

About 20 $ per 1000 gallons with taxes, sewer, fire service and other charges.

Guess I never realized how good we have it. Our electric costs are $0.082 per KWhr. Still using the old alalog meters.
Having our own well, it costs us $0.18 to pump 1000 gallons (and its really good water TDS 240 with 0 ammonia, nitrites, nitrate, phosphate and sweet and cold and constant parameters year round.)
Northwest Arkansas.

So Cal is probably one of the worst places to keep discus as far as water costs, I believe

Just looked up my water rates.
Rates are per 100 cubic feet {approximately 750 gallons}.
Water rate: $2.963 per 100 cubic feet
Waste treatment cost: $2.166 per 100 cubic feet.
So that's roughly $5 per 100 cubic ft (750 gallons).
Assuming I go thru 750 gallons a week doing daily water changes, I would expect my water bill to rise $20 a month.

Mine is included in the rent hence the reason I started the hobby again. Can't complain, can do water change anytime I want.:)
