You pay city water taxes? I don't. Paying for sewer in addition to water is bog-standard. I mean, taxes could cover water too, right? But don't.

In some areas that might be part of the property tax but not in California. Prop 13 pretty much assured that.

California has no local taxes. It's mind boggling.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. I'm guessing that kind of explains the budget problem.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My water bill is about $30/month. I'd be shocked if I got a near-$100 water bill, even in the summer.

Hi there! I've missed the board, but I've been too busy with work and family lately. But I wanted to drop in and say hello.
And happy belated birthday to Dylan and javachik

That's not totally accurate. Sales taxes vary by city in California.

Amusingly, my water/sewer bill comes bundled with my trash bill. It's about $50 bimonthly for all 3.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Water/sewer service is a bill here too (I assume that building the sewer system was done with taxes and bonds and whatnot, but the monthly service is a bill, not a tax.)

I know that taxes go to things like maintaining roads and whatnot, so I assumed they went to other things that keep the city running, like sewers. My electric and gas bill is based on the amount of electricity and gas I use, so it's irritating that nearly all of my water bill is flat fees that have nothing to do with how much water I use.
