my contract is for sidewalks, steps, stoops, and landings.
I am 25% done i have used 2700 gallons of water.
How can i decrease this??
I don't do enough flatwork to know the best process .....
 
Or better yet rinse and dont wash J/K
 
Heck I use about 360 gallons just to clean one vent hood ... You are doing great... Are if your worried about water usage ,, do like my neighbor buy a large funnel and put it on your water tank, Do the rain dance and (HELLO) instant water... ( JUST KIDDING )

WHY ME WHY ME ... I was praying for rain last night while my machine was burning to a crisp...
 
I thnk you are getting ripped off man, the average cost of gallon of water in the US is something like $0.0015 a gallon if I remember correctly

yeah you are def over paying for water. When I have to goto the water treatment plant to use their quick fill it only costs .25 per 100 gallons and that is expensive.
 
Fire hydrant meters I just paid $6.80 per 1000 gallons and we used 8000 gallons and we washed 12 decent sized 2 story multi unit condo buildings and this town was more than most plus they charge a weekly fee that I didnt like

I just rented two hydrant meter from another water company they charge less per gallon its a cheap downpayment of $100 and no other fees
 
I pay about 4 bucks per 1000 when I use hydrants round here.
 
yeah, i think i screwed up....i think its $9.67/1000gal (which appears to be high still)

Yup like Dave says its who ever the water dept is in the area you will be working, it could be the town or city or private company. That $100 is that one city I have put $500 and up to $1000 deposit on Hydrant meters and some areas don't even allow using the hydrant meters now. I think most still do.
 
In my area I have to contact the fire department in order to get a meter. And It is generally a $300 deposit.
Though I do have my own meter as well too. But that is only because I had to install fire hydrants at a property of mine a while back
 
Why aren't you using their water? I did a townhome center and all the houses were on a common meter and split the bill. I just hooked up to whatever unit was nearby and used that.
 
Here the meter deposit is $700 and you have an initial $40.00 which includes 13,000 gallons. After the first 13,000 gallons then every 2000 gallons it cost you $3.00.

You are really over-paying.

Who are you paying that much to? Is it the water department or some
scam-artist?

This is what you need to look into before starting any job, always negotiate for the best price or look elsewhere.
