Typical Water Bill Calculation

Great Oaks Water Company bills its residential customers every two months, so the typical customer will receive 6 bills per year. This is an example of a Water Bill based on a standard 5/8" x 3/4" single-family residential meter and a two month billing period (54 - 66 days). Your actual bill might differ for many reasons.

A.	Consumption in 100 cubic feet* (Ending meter read less beginning meter read)		30 ccf*
B.	Readiness To Serve Charge (Monthly charge of $7.83 x 2 months)		$ 15.66
C.	Quantity Charge		$ 57.93
	26 ccf @ $ 1.911	$ 49.69
	4 ccf @ $ 2.061	$ 8.24
	0 ccf @ $ 2.361	$ 0.00
D.	Subtotal (B + C)		$ 73.59
E.	California PUC Surcharge 1.5% (D x 0.015)		$ 1.10
F.	Total Charge (D+ E)		$ 74.69
G.	San Jose City Utility Tax 5% (F x 0.05)		$ 3.73
H.	Total Bill (F+G)		$ 78.42

*1 ccf = 100 cubic feet = 748 gallons
