We get one sewer/water bill and I don't know the breakout per each and are quarterly. It averages out to $60/month over the course of the year. But that includes all the pool water as well.

ours is for water/sewer and trash. it is a lot (IMO), we have 2 accounts so that we don't get charged the sewer/trash fee for the water used in sprinkler system. We pay about 110/MONTH for both accounts. its so much more than we've ever paid before living here. but i live on an island, so maybe that has something to do with it??
$115 per quarter for up to 10k gallons. Water is $4.something each additional 1000 gallons and sewer is an additional 120% of water (so $5. or $6.something per 1000 gallons)
Water varies since we have a sprinkler system. We have had bills as high as $200 this summer. $80 was our lowest in the year we have lived here. Bi-monthly billing.
We average ~$50/month in the summer and ~$35/month in the winter.
We had one crazy bill that was $475 for three months that was possibly due to a flood in our basement that happened while we were on vacation (flood was city's responsibility because the meter itself was the part that broke - they said that it was covered in a previous pay period but I still wonder b/c I have no idea why else the one bill would have been so ridiculous).
This month, our water bill was $28 and our sewer is a flat rate at $30.75/month. We're just finishing up summer, though, so our water is on the higher end right now.
The funniest part is that we are currently on a water surcharge. Because of the drought in CA, we've been on mandatory 20% water use reduction in my city. BUT, then the city realized that their revenue would decrease significantly, as use decreased, and decided that they couldn't float that financially. So, we are on a mandatory reduction, and a surcharge, to make up for the price of the water that we can't use.

About $55-60 for water, sewer, and trash pickup.
But no curbside recycling. Grr. Seriously a pet peeve of mine because I pay higher taxes inside the city limits, but people in the county get curbside recycling and I have to drive 15 mimutes to the drop-off place that is only open for a few hours on Saturday. They may have to pay their trash company more, but it pisses me off that it's not even an option for me.
wtf how are you people getting off so cheap! We pay about $175/month for water/sewer/garbage. Three adults and one baby, and we use cloth diapers. Our winter bills are a little cheaper -- no plants to water.
It was $42 every month for water/sewer when we were in Florida. That was the minimum so apparently we are conservative with our water usage. HOA paid for the sprinklers so that helped.
