New inground pool owners, what did it cost to fill your pool with water?
Answers:
I had a 15,000 gallon pool in KY which was cheaper to fill with an independent water hauler than to use the city's water. Water there was REALLY expensive and it would have cost double the $250 I paid to have it trucked in and filled. Now I'm in CA, you call the water department and tell them when exactly you are filling the pool and they won't charge you sewage. For 12,000 gallons I paid $97.06
Other answers:
We refinished our in-ground pool a few years ago. We were advised by our contractor to contact the city water department and let them know we would be filling a pool and the approximate gallon capacity (for us it was 12,000 gallons). We got a discounted rate on the refill, so we weren't paying as if we had used that much household water.
This was in Florida where in-ground pools are plentiful, so the city was used to requests like this.
