1.33 CCF = 1000 gallons.
So $20/1 CCF = $26.6/1000 gallons.
It's already near those rates, my water bill which I paid last week was roughly ~$20 per 1000 gallons.

- jjav 5y agoThat's remarkably cheap. 8 CCF is just about 6000 gallons (I'd never seen CCF used before, our water district in norcal bills in gallons). The rates are tiered, but by the 6000th gallon we'd paying ~$24 for 1000 gallons. It goes up to ~$29 for 1000 gallons. That's not including the ~$100 base fee, so even if you only use one gallon a month (or even zero), the bill is almost $100.
- tzs 5y agoThis really makes me appreciate my well. It uses around $0.45 in electricity to pump 1000 gallons from my well continuously. Around $0.37 for 1000 gallons pumped intermittently.
