    In the US, I’ve never seen that on any water bill in my life. It’s just dollars per gallon here.

      How closely have you looked at your bill? This has been the case in at least 3 different places in the US for me.

        Same here, lived in a few different states and usually never got out of the first “tier” pricing bracket (where this billing method was used), so my water bills were pretty much to the penny the same every month.

        Yeah, we have a base amount of water here. 2 people never got over base, with 3 we sometimes go over and have to pay more.
