Normal water usage in the US costs more than $25 a month.

If you don't have septic you have to double that cost as well to pay for sewage treatment.

This cost is most likely already subsidized by local property taxes, it doesn't take in account the total cost to provide water (Water Towers, wells, infrastructure, etc.), or the fact that Deriot has horrible water to begin with and needs more conditioning.
