I expect that the unit is 100 Cubic Foot. About 1500 gallons. Possible
for one person in cool weather.

Most cities have a minimum fee.

Then comes the cost of delivery. If close to a river or lake the cost
can be very low. However, take Los Angeles which brings much of their
water in from the center of the state. The city of Denver, has a tunnel
under the continental divide bringing their Colorado River water in from
100 miles away. Their neighboring city of Aurora came late and the
nearby water rights were gone. Their main supply is on the Arkansas
river near Leadville. Their portion of the water flows to near the city
of Pubelo and then is pumped north over 100 miles. Aurora rate is
something over $4 a thousand gallons.

Las Vegas gets their water from the Colorado River, same as Denver but
they just let it flow to Lake Mead so their cost is much lower than Denver.
