The average EDH residential customer uses .77 acre feet of water annually vs. the .421 acre feet in EID’s chart. So counting the”tiering” of rates, the average EID bill is more than double what’s shown in EID’s comparison chart.

But wait, there’s more!

Also, EID receives $10 million of Property Tax revenues that subsidize rates by $157 per water customer annually . Here’s a chart you’ll never see from EID:
