Oh wow...so like $120 for water. How long does 1500 gallons last?

another reason I love the city  ...I don't mind the laundry...I like a super clean house we don't use towels twice because my kids usually drag them across the floor and thats gross :/

in the winter, we can make it last about 5-6 weeks, limited baths, (kids arent getting as dirty as fast), limited laundry, (they arent playing outside as much! lol) I am not watering a garden, we re-use drinking cups/plates (ones that there was just a sandwich on, and whatnot). In the summer, with the garden, increased water consumption of dogs/humans and raising chickens, we go about 3 weeks. many more baths, and laundry in the summer too.

WHAT?! Oh wow, I couldnt do that. I pay like $20 bucks a month for water.

Quoting Piecey.:" you wash linens daily?"

yeah, we have 3 beds and I like to wash my linens once a week and the kids twice a week + accidents...so I have someones linens to do everyday.

arent your floors super clean then?   j/k.

are there water/sewer bills in the city?

aaand, we don't play on our beds, so I don't have to wash linens that often, the kids are every 2 weeks, ( I alternate weeks with them) and mine are every 3-4 weeks

my water bill is around $30 a month and its included with electric so its not really an issue

This is exactly what we do.
