Rate increase or did it claim 11% more water usage? I used to live in California I think they charge more for public utilities than any other state.
If pay full rate for water (farmers get cheaper rates) you get hosed bad. I think I broke it down once and I paid 2 cents a gallon. It cost me $150 a month to water a garden the size of a small one car garage. I actually weighed the vegetable yield which was pretty good. The tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow squash and peppers barely compensated for the water.
I have a well here so I just pay for the electricity to pump the water out, not sure what that amounts to but it is pretty cheap.
