Water bills are a fascinating mix of geography, habit, and luck. They’re rarely a shock if you pay a little attention. Next time you open that envelope, remember: you’re paying for a resource we literally can’t live without. That’s pretty cool when you think about it.
And if your bill does surprise you? Just shrug, check for leaks, and maybe take a five-minute shower tomorrow. You’ve got this. Hydrated and happy—that’s the goal.
