We have a total of 18 community gardens and we base our rates on the total 
amount of water each garden uses in a year. Our water fee is based on a rate 
per square foot.  Some gardens are more conscious about water conservation than 
others.  Our rates are as low as 0.10 per square foot to as high as 0.42 per 
square foot.  

It is amazing to hear some of the rates organizations are charging.  We are 
moving away from subsidizing any part of the water cost and everyone else 
should start looking to doing the same.  

Happy Gardening!
