I believe you are mistaken on this topic. Water in moscow is charged per 100
cubic feet. One hundred cubic feet costs $1.50, up to 700 cubic feet.
After that the rate is $1.80 up to 2000 cubic ft, which after that point it is
over 3 bucks. <br>
<br>
We should all look for ways to conserve though.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
