Fresno monthly utilities costs for SFH

[Account Closed]

Why is Fresno so coy about the monthly charges for utilities?  It's funny - the FAQ on the city website under "what are the fees for utilities" is answered with a non-answer with some vague mention that fees are calculated by size of lot, etc.  I have been diligently Googling every possible way I can think of to try and find a basic monthly charge for water/sewer/garbage for a residential property and it is the great mystery of the ages.

My question here is to try and find out what I could expect in utility fees if I buy a residential property in Fresno.  

But, additionally, why don't people complain about the smoke and mirrors?  If there isn't some transparent fee calculation available, how do people know the folk in city hall aren't just pulling any old figure out of thin air for your fees?

Anyway, what are the normal fees for a single family residence for water/sewer/garbage? If you live in Fresno or have a SFH rental there, what are your average monthly costs for these utilities? Thanks.

The tenants typically pay utilities for SFH in Fresno area. So no need to stay awake regarding this.

Property tax and insurance should be figured into the returns though.
