I'm guessing water rates in California are higher then
average and trucking in water to the Mojave, even
more so?

Also, how long do you estimate 300 gals will last you?

Because looking at my suburban (Detroit) water bill;

I was billed for two "units", which are listed as 749 gallons
each (combined water and sewage, plus service charge)
which cost me $12.05 or $0.008 per gallon.

But I believe residents are charged a minimum of two units
no matter what, as my monthly water bill has always been
for two units and I'm thinking there's no way I (a single guy
with minimal water usage) actually went thru 1500 gallons
in a month.

I'm guessing the moment I went over 750 gals, I was billed
for another complete "unit" of water usage, so I couldn't say
exactly how many gallons of water per month I use.
