the bill would be calculated as follows:
| 1. Monthly minimum |
$23.63 |
| 2. Usage between 1-10,000 gal is $4.36/1,000 (10 x 4.36) |
$43.60 |
| 3. Usage between 10,001-20,000 is $4.90/1000 (10 x 4.90) |
$49.00 |
| 4. Usage between 20,001-50,000 is $5.98/1,000 (17.48 x 5.98) |
$104.53 |
| 6. Total bill is the sum of all the above |
$220.76 |
