City of Warman Water Bills are too damn high!

our last water bill was over $700.00 for one month for a family of three that doesn't water their lawn.

James Yes the 201.18, 195.60, and 125 were all monthly readings

Erin I am guessing that your last bill was just for the month not the quarter.

Our Water bills varied from $145.00 t0 $240.00 per quarter or equal to $47.00 to $80.00 per month before they started billing monthly. My last 3 monthly bills were $569.80, $708.85 and $530.00 for a quarterly billing of $1,808.90 or $602.97 per month or 7.5 X more than we were paying before. It also equated to the equivalent of 20 X 45 gallon drums per day. That is for 2 seniors living in the house. In fairness we did put a lawn in this year. Watering is on timers and goes for 30 minutes twice a week. I would have been shocked if our water doubled but this is insane and totally irresponsible for the city not to look into all these complaints. I guess they don't want to be re-elected next term.

My husband noticed right away that the water bill was too high!!

We had our sprinklers turned off.. gone from the house for the month Sept & still our water was 200.00. Every month has been unreasonable from what we paid living in Saskatoon

My last 3 month bill was 530.95. This was a really high bill when we use limited amounts of water, we never water our backyard and we rarely water our very small front lawn? We were also away on holidays. When I received our first monthly bill for July it was 201.18? My heart was literally racing and I was really worried, and that same day my sister called and said her first monthly bill was 200 and some? My bill for August was 195.60 and I never watered my lawn once, just the 4 planters in my front yard. For September my bill was 125.00 and again never watered the lawn for that month and nothing different than the month previous. I'm really worried about this and suspicious. All of my bills were actual readings.

1. The rates seem high. 2. Inconsistent billing. Monthly bills higher higher than quarterly bills. High bills even after water reduction measures.

Why is water more in one mouth then it was in three

The only reason I can see that these bills are so high is the city is charging a premium on top and making a pretty penny from it. I grew up in a village 30-40 mins from Saskatoon and had Saskatoon water, shoot even some of the farmers in the area have water ran to their farms. I've never heard anyone back home ever complain about high water prices.

My monthly bill is $225. I am seriously thinking about moving out of Warman because of this.

I'm paying at least 100 dollars more now per the month period than before the bills were due every month.

Last year I could wash the SUV for $8. Now it costs me $12. Businesses have had to pass the increase on to their customers, so it's not just your home water bill that is emptying your wallet.

agreed

Yes I agree it's ridiculous!!! Somehow it's even worse now that it's monthly billing!?? How does that work?

I was told to check leaks. I guess I'm not the only one told about it.

Very high water bills for two people

My water bill is as high in one month as it is as in 3 months!!! What’s going on? This needs to be addressed.

I don't even hit the minimum useage amount on my bill and it's still going up.

With the switch to monthly billing our bill has gone up significantly. We went from paying 400 or less for 3 months to 200 for 1 month. Absolutely ridiculous!
