Interesting. Very different from the City of Toronto! We pay $4.75 per cubic meter (1,000 litres). My last water bill was 67.5m3 X 4.75 = ~ $322 for 4 months. I don't know how much you consume, but if 80% of those are fixed costs, then, yeah, I think the water bill is pretty steep over here.
I like comparing these little cost of living differences between places. They really vary municipality by municipality, and I feel like these are never really reported unless you ask or do your own research. I'm talking about things like property taxes, water/sewer/garbage fees, home insurance, etc. They really add up, and they can be vastly different between two places that, on the surface, seem fundamentally the same.
