Bridgeport, CT- Water Bill Estimate

[Jose Centeno]

Hello all,

I am researching a property in Bridgeport, CT. I can’t seem to find anything regarding average water bill, or any kind of expectations. The property that I am interested in is a 4 family unit and the owner is hoping to sell this unit privately. The numbers look good but when speaking with him he stated that the water bill and sewer bill averaged out to about $100 per month each. This would be my first property and I’m naturally skeptical. Doesn’t a $100 water bill for a 4-family unit sound rather low? I’m new to the game so any help would be appreciated. He sounds like a seasoned investor so I’m sure he can sniff out someone way less experienced (me!).

Does anyone have any guidance or direct experience in Bridgeport? If he’s claiming $100/month and it ends up being $500.....well that certainly is a deal killer. If anyone could help I would appreciate it. Thanks!
