They decided long ago not to read the meters in our n'hood, because we
would have to pay for it, and so they only read the meter that feeds
all 109 homes, and we divide the cost evenly.


If it is very cheap, that may be OK, but I'd rather not pay for the slobs up
the street with 10 kids, eleven cars to wash and the lawn sprinklers going
20 hours a day. As it is, we pay about $400 a year for the two of us. When
the kids were home it was about $500 a year.
