# Water Rates (Non-Metered)
## Introduction
Water Charges are recurring charges levied for a pre-defined billing period. The billing period is configurable as per the state or ULB requirement. The rate for calculation of water charges vary widely and is dependent upon various parameters. Charges for water are dependent upon either plot size slab or No. of taps combined with property usage type. In some cases, they can also be solely dependent upon the property usage type.
## Data Table
| Sr. No. | Property Usage Type\* | Property size value from (units) | Property size value to (units) | No. of taps | Rate |
| ------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ----------- | ---- |
| 1 | Residential | 1 | 150 | 1 | 200 |
| 2 | Residential | 151 | 200 | 1 | 300 |
The data given in the table is sample data for reference.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.digit.org/local-governance/v2.8/products/modules/water-and-sewerage/water-charges-master-data-templates/water-rates-non-metered.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
