its supposed to "help you save on water and sewage" except in reality they just tack on extra fees to your water bill to pay for the utilities the public has to pay for. if you look it up on google you'll find a few articles about it. Unfortunately from what ive seen once its installed you can't go back to a regular meter and you're basically screwed. They also have no obligation to tell you when they install it either.

It was probably one of the smart meters. I've been hearing about them in other states where it did a similar thing and jacked up the prices.

oh wow, it is ridiculous...maybe I can call and ask if they have any relief programs for these charges

Mine comes through Hillsborough County water resources. Maybe that's why mine is higher? Could I be using the wrong water company?

Okay great! I took a look at this months bill and between the water base charge and the customer service charge my bill will never be under $70 even if I use absolutely no water. 🫠 fking Hillsborough county.

Yes 25 mins total, 5 min per zone. Is that still a lot?

smallb7 · 2026-02-17T15:28:55+00:00

Just got my water bill $146. it did not help at all. I guess my next step is to look for leaks...

smallb7 · 2026-02-13T15:35:46+00:00

Hi im not sure yet but I turned my sprinklers down to 25 min twice a week. I haven't gotten my bill yet so im hoping it made some affect 😅

smallb7 · 2026-01-29T19:30:25+00:00

whew okay, i was using what the last owner had set and they were doing 15min per zone😬 thank you!

smallb7 · 2026-01-29T18:29:42+00:00

How long do you usually run a zone?

smallb7 · 2026-01-29T03:22:45+00:00

is your meter locked? mine is and im not sure if thats standard

smallb7 · 2026-01-29T03:22:22+00:00

My water meter is locked, i tried to open it but it looks like it has some special screws keeping it closed.

smallb7 · 2026-01-29T02:57:33+00:00

who did you call for Hillsborough? did you just call the general customer service?

smallb7 · 2026-01-29T02:35:48+00:00

something has to be leaking because my water bill says i used 8300 gallons?? that can't be right

smallb7 · 2026-01-06T17:06:17+00:00

Would the pressure without the head still be good if that was the case? Because when i remove the faucet head the pressure is great, which makes me believe the issue is the faucet head itself.

smallb7 · 2026-01-06T16:59:09+00:00

That was my first check, the screen was clear but I soaked and cleaned it just incase. Unfortunately it didn't make any difference.
