From WSJ.com:
Where Residents Pay Buckets of Money—for Water
Who thinks of how much we pay for water? In New Jersey and New York, residents pay reasonable amounts for the essential supply of water that we need. But, in California, not necessarily so. From the WSJ, a comparison:
In the ritzy Long Island beach community of Southampton, N.Y., the average home runs about $1.4 million and a pound of lobster salad costs around 100 clams. Good thing for homeowners that their water bills are likely to be low. The average Southampton resident pays just $54 a month.
Meanwhile, residents in tony Pebble Beach, Calif., shell out $601 a month, on average, for their water.
Spread Sheet asked real-estate data firms ATTOM Data Solutions and UtilityScore to compile average water and sewage bills for almost 11,000 cities across the country. The results are a tale of two coasts: Homeowners in some of the wealthiest enclaves on the California coast pay buckets of money for their water relative to what Hamptons residents pay.
In addition to Pebble Beach, a number of upscale oceanside California communities like Carmel ($506), Santa Barbara ($469), Monterey ($439) and Malibu ($251) have some of the nation’s highest water bills. Long Island enjoys some of the lowest—even exclusive Hamptons communities like East Hampton ($50), Water Mill ($56), Sag Harbor ($54) and Montauk ($49).
