The Cost of Water
Compared to most utilities – electricity, gas, internet and cable, the cost of water is extremely reasonable. This latest survey from worldpopulationreview.com shows water costs across the country.
On average, Floridians pay the lowest water utility bill at around $6 a month. The opposite of Florida is West Virginia, where residents can pay as much as $72 a month. Although water utility bills shift so drastically throughout the nation, there is a bit of consistency that can be found in the Midwest, where these states almost all fall into the lower half of the list – leaning toward some of the lower costs.
