      They are billed separately, but there is no meter, it’s just assumed by the amount of water you use.

        Right, and in some cases you get a rebate, ie swimming pool

      It is everywhere I’ve lived in Texas. You pay water and wastewater separately.

        Sewage is most likely still just calculated by how much water you use. In my state they are separate but you can pay for a sewer deduction meter to go on outside spigots so you’re not paying for the sewage for outside use, but they’re almost $700 so I haven’t bothered.

        But it doesn’t matter because the person paying for your water is also paying for your sewage.

        There is nothing stolen.

          I made no implications whatsoever. I only confirmed the billing situation.

            Yes, there is a line item. There is also a line item for taxes. But saying “it’s on my bill too” supports the OP’s claim despite the OP being wrong.

            If you pay for your friend’s dinner at a restaurant, they aren’t stealing just because the bill has separate line items for food, service, taxes, etc. You are paying it all.
