But not if you live rurally and have a rain-filled water tank. We've had to have ours filled three times this summer at $140 a time. $420 - I don't know how that compares to a years water rates but I bet it's not far off.
Don't forget mobile phones. They're ridiculously expensive - I have a pre-pay but Garys Telecom mobile costs us about $250 a month and he hardly uses it!
