Mine arrived yesterday. $26.10 for the month. You need to move out of

My last water bill was $80.50.  I live about 60 miles south of Tom. We
have different water companies.  My water bill has been creeping
upwards since the last few droughts:

My water bill went up even faster after the CZU fire destroyed a large
part of the water distribution and storage system Aug-Sept 2020:

Also, only $9.50 of the $80.50 is for water.  The rest if for service.
In other words, if the water district delivered no water, my bill
would still be $71 per month.

I suspect that Tom's water bill follows the same pattern, where
reducing his water use will have almost no effect on his $100 monthly
bill.

Sounds simple. It's not.  In WI you need a drill permit first, can't do it yourself, as it requires a licensed well driller and then there's county water testing, forever.
As with your 'water' bill, the larger expense is on the other (sewage) side. In rural areas, that's septic tank clearance and testing (leach fields no longer permitted).
