At my apartment in DeKalb (1B 1B), the water usage has been constant at about 3000 gallons the last three months, but the sewer and water rates fluctuate a ton. Back in January the sewer and water ran me $86 and $20, but the sewer and water for March came back as $129 and $32. I spoke to someone at my apartment office and they suggested it could be metered based on time of day / seasons like Georgia Power but they weren't entirely sure.

Another hypothesis is that Conservice is charging for the building's sewer/water usage, but the lease explicitly says that water and sewer are allocated based on "sub-metering of all electric/water/gas usage", so I would imagine that the only relevant number for my charges would be my apartment's water meter.

Does anyone have any idea how Conservice comes up with these numbers? Both myself and the guy at the leasing office are unable to see their breakdowns and calculations. I'm just unsure how to move forward with this.. I'll definitely call Conservice on Monday when their offices are open
