City of Houston.
Anyone done this?
I'm having zero luck reaching or getting a call back from houstonwater.org.
Looking for the cost to calculate when this would pay for itself.

How do they charge for sewer in Houston? Where I live, they attempt to take sprinklers into account by calculating a watering season sewer charge based on winter water usage.

I did this back in 2007 - cost was about $1000. Paid for itself when we refilled the pool after replastering.

All the rates are posted online. Irrigation meters have higher rates per 1,000 gallons. Technically, you can't fill a pool with an irrigation meter because the pool drain is supposed to be connected to sanitary sewer.
