US average is $2-6 per 1000 gallons
Iowa is in Climate Zone 5 - Cool-Humid/Cold (significant heating, moderate cooling). Homes here typically have higher heating demands than cooling.
We estimate your usage based on typical consumption for household activities:
About 300 gallons per day or 9,000 gallons per month for a family of four. This includes all indoor and outdoor use.
Toilets (24%), showers (20%), faucets (19%), washing machines (17%), and leaks (12%) are the biggest indoor users. Outdoor irrigation can exceed all indoor use combined.
Check your water meter, ensure no water is being used for 2 hours, then check again. If the meter moved, you have a leak. Also check your bill for unexplained increases.
Low-flow toilets save 4,000-16,000 gallons per person annually. Low-flow showerheads save about 2,700 gallons per person. A family of four can save 20,000+ gallons yearly.
