A quarter of a year is 3 months (since 12 months divided by 4 equals 3 months).
To find out how much you pay per month, you can divide the total quarterly water bill by the number of months in a quarter:
\[
\text{Monthly payment} = \frac{\text{Quarterly water bill}}{\text{Number of months in a quarter}} = \frac{305.68}{3} \approx 101.89
\]
So, you pay approximately **$101.89** per month.
