In Western Australia home owners have to pay water rates, which covers sewer costs. They also have to pay a separate water bill, as do tenants in rental properties. The tenants don't have to pay the water rates, that is for property owners only.

The reason you should be putting used aquarium water on the lawn or garden is to prevent unwanted disease organisms getting into natural waterways. The soil/ lawn gets exposed to sunlight, which kills most of the microscopic creatures.
Aquariums are full of microscopic organisms and these survive when flushed down the loo. Some also survive the sewerage treatment plant and end up in rivers where they can adversely affect native fishes.

I like to dump my used tank water out a second floor window. Keeps my neighbors on their toes.
They don’t treat toilet water to be safe to drink, smh.
Respectfully; your parents trippin’
Just ask them bruh. Tell them what they said was wack and you tryna prove it to us. Of course, say it respectfully.Yah also I don't know how to get a pic without my parents going: "Why are you taking a picture of our bills"
Actually yes, some states do have it where they treat sewage water to be used.
We drink the same water that dinosaurs roamed in millions of years ago, it has just gone through the water cycle.
Fish and other animals pee and poo in the water. We treat it to to drink.
And actually, eventually all water, including sewage water ends up in the natural water cycle anyways.

No, they would never let me share it. Even with it blurred
You don't live in my area, you haven't seen the bill, and you don't know my parents so there is no "respectful" way of saying what you said
Bruh. Of course theres a way to say in nicely.
Let me reword it for you:
"Hey mom and dad! I was talking about water prices on the fish forum and they didn't believe that we pay for outgoing water. Come to think of it that really doesn't make sense. Now I have to prove it. Could I take a picture of the bill or something, so I can prove it? "
the outgoing water portion of the bill is designated "sewer charge" it is based on amount of water going into your house through the water meter as that is approx amount of water going out into the sewer... even watet you use for the garden or lawn is billed as sewer charge....unless you have as separate meter for outdoor watering..
A picture would help me see it.
This precisely. ^
Now maybe if one or two people in this thread agreed with you, then we wouldn’t be this questionable. But I have literally never heard of that before, and no one else in this thread has either.
Did you even ask? Worst they could do is say no.No, they would never let me share it. Even with it blurred
I didn't mean what I was going to say. I meant what he said about my parents.
You don't understand, if they found out people wanted photos of personal bills they'd want me off this site ASAP so no you don't get photos of our personal papersA picture would help me see it.

Maybe find your PUD website and find it on there and screenshot it for is
So I went into the website but I don't see where it tells me the actual details of how they price it... Maybe I should ask my parents for me to look at the bill... Or just look at it lol.
Cause I could of sworn they put it in two separate spaces for outgoing and incoming water

incoming is actual water useage....outgoing is sewer charge which is usually based on the same amount of water you use...why are you guys making such a big deal over this...it's pretty simple
