1. Subtract PRIOR READ from CURRENT READ to determine usage (in hundred cubic feet) this billing period.

Sample:

Meter Reading from Bill - Prior/Current

452 - 402 = 50
(100 cubic feet = 1 unit of usage)

2. Calculate the water usage according to the chart.

1st 16 units @ 3.84= 
2nd 11 units @ 5.77 =
Add'l units (50 -16 - 11 = 23) @ 7.69 =
total =
   $61.44
   $63.47
 $176.87
 $301.78

3. Add Readiness-To-Serve charge according to the chart.

Meter Reading from Bill - Size

$15.70
(5/8" meter = $15.70 bimonthly)

4. Add San Diego County Water Authority (CWA) Surcharges according to the chart.

   $5.30 CWA's Infrastructure Access Charge (IAC) for 5/8" meter
   +12.50 CWA's Service & Storage Fees ($0.25 per HCF)
= $17.80

5. Based on this sample, the total bill for two months =

   $301.78
        15.70
+     17.80    
= $335.28

Calculating daily water use

Daily water use is determined by how many gallons per day your household used on an average day during the billing period.  It is calculated by multiplying the usage (in hundred cubic feet) by 748 and then dividing by the number of days.  These values are calculated for you on your bill.

Daily Water Use from Bill

In this example:
50 × 748 = 37,400 gallons
37,400 ÷ 56 = 668 average gallons per day (rounded to the nearest gallon)
