All homeowners are responsible for setting up their local water and sewage services to have a properly functioning home. Depending on where you live, the rules for how or when you pay for water or sewer can be completely different. Typically, the usage of water is measured by a meter in your home, which is then reported to your local municipality or utilities service for a bill.
Certain states or areas are not required to pay for water utilities, and others have seasonal rates, flat rates, or usage-based rates.
Trash and recycling
All trash and recycling taken from your house has to be processed by city waste management and is considered a utility in a home.
