Enter the total gallons of water (gallons) and the cost per gallon of water ($/gallon) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Hcf Cost. 

Hcf Cost Formula

HCF = G * CPG / 748.1

Variables:

  • HCF is the Hcf Cost ($/HCF)
  • G is the total gallons of water (gallons)
  • CPG is the cost per gallon of water ($/gallon)

To calculate Hcf Cost, divide the cost per gallon of water by 748.1, then multiply by the total gallons of water.

How to Calculate Hcf Cost?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Hcf Cost.


  1. First, determine the total gallons of water (gallons). 
  2. Next, determine the cost per gallon of water ($/gallon). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = HCF = G * CPG / 748.1.
  4. Finally, calculate the Hcf Cost.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total gallons of water (gallons) = 100,000

cost per gallon of water ($/gallon) = 2.5

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HCF in water billing?

HCF stands for Hundred Cubic Feet, a unit of measure commonly used by water utilities to bill customers. It represents the volume of water used, with one HCF equaling approximately 748 gallons of water.

Why is the cost per gallon of water important in calculating HCF cost?

The cost per gallon of water is crucial because it directly influences the total cost of water consumption. By knowing the cost per gallon, you can calculate the overall expense based on the volume of water used, measured in HCF.

How can I reduce my HCF cost?

To reduce your HCF cost, consider implementing water-saving practices such as fixing leaks, installing water-efficient fixtures, and reducing unnecessary water usage. These actions can significantly decrease the total gallons of water used, thereby lowering your HCF cost.
