If the property is in the city Check out cityofrochester.gov and go to property search. Key in property address and there are several links at the bottom of the page, in which one is the recent water bill. You can also go a step further and go to the water authority website, type the address in and select pay bill. Hope this helps!

Water bills in Rochester are pretty cheap compared to other parts of the US. I only own single family homes with 4 adults in each and the bill is approximately $55 per quarter year.

Thanks Very much Dennis

I typically set aside $30 per month per unit in my cash flow models.

In 2013, on my 6 duplexes (sold in 2014) I paid the following that year:

$314 (3 beds), $547 (5 beds), $438 (6 beds), $396 (6 beds), $229 (3 beds) and $218 (3 beds)

Every now and then some idiot will fail to alert you that his toilet keeps running all night and you do not find out uintil you get that quarterly bill.
