3. In the following problem you will work to understand the cost of bottled water versus tap water: (a) Determine the cost (S/L) of 2 cef of water for a residential home in Philadelphia. For pricing information please refer to: http://www.phila.gov/water/PDF/RatesCharges effective 7-1-2016.pdf Please take the following into account for your calculation: Meter size = R 58\" Water bill consists of: Water Charges, Sewer Charges, and Stormwater Management Service Charges (b) How much more expensive or cheaper is tap water compared to a 0.5-L bottle of water purchased for $1.50?

Solution

note :

provided pdf is not opening. but I got dada from other internet sources.

up to 2 M.cf water charge =$41.11 hence for 2 ccf charge = 41.11*2/10= $8.22

service charge for 5/8 R =$6.56

Sever charge for 5/8 R = $7.17

Strom water maintenance charge =$12.5

total = $34.402 for 200 cft

for 1CFT = 28.31 L= 34.402/200=$0.17

For 1 lit = 0.17/28.31=$0.006 /L

BOLLTE WATER COST = 2*1.5= $3/L

hence tap water is much cheaper(($2.994/L) then bottel water ($3/L)
