Water bills in apartments are typically figured in one of two ways. Check with any member of the office staff to see which method your community uses.  It will either be:

1) True measure – your bill will be based on how much water you use.

2) Allocation – your bill will be a portion of overall usage, based on the square footage and number of occupants.  For example – the property gets one big water bill, after property use is removed, the remaining amount is divided up among the residents with the smallest portion of the bill going to the smallest apartment with one person living in it and the largest portion of the bill going to the largest apartment with the most allowable people living in it.
