mmm, palo alto water



[tower well, hawthorne ave at alma st]

"The City's first water rate structure was billed monthly as follows: each House = 1 dollar, each Water Closet = 40 cents, each Horse = 25 cents, each Cow = 25 cents, and for water carelessly allowed to run overnight through a hose or faucet = $2.50/night."
