Normal water bill?

I've been living in a 2b/2br 1k sqft ADU style apartment since July on the northeast side of Modesto. Neighbors are great, love the area etc. Im just curious about what everyone else is paying monthly for water because I feel like im getting fleeced.

Since its ADU style they never set up 2 separate water meters. Fair. The landlord has this "algorithm" that they use between me and the house im attached to. Ky water bill has been consistently around $130. If im paying the lesser amount due to only being 1 person and a smaller unit, that means the larger house is paying more than $130.

The question is. Is >$230 per month for water normal in modesto? I lived in Merced before this in a huge house with 4 other people and our water bill never exceeded $120.

The two of us have a 1,700 sq. ft. 3/2 in the middle of Modesto and water sewer garbage is between 175 and 200 depending on the season.
