In general, each watering zone uses approximately 200 gallons of reclaimed water every 10 minutes. Using this estimate, you can approximate you estimated reclaimed water usage pre month. The reclaimed water use listed as 1,000 gallon units (2K gal = 2,000 gallons used) is part of your monthly Orange County water bill. The base reclaimed water charge includes water usage up to 4,000 gallons (4K). You will not see an change in the reclaimed water use charge if your usage remains below 4K gallons. Once your usage goes over 4K gallons, your reclaimed water bill will increase based upon water used.
