I think every place is different.

Wonder MM, it is possible that there are higher water bills in your region than in other places. But something else might be cheaper.
For example, I mentioned at JT about the fixed charges on my utilities bills. From people's responses, it seems some of them don't have a fixed charge. I had written :"My gas company has a fixed charge of $28. My electric company has two fixed costs that totals 18..." and some people don't understand it..

• 要想自己管自己的事，就要有管的麻烦，不然就交钱让人家管。我们以前的town都不收垃圾，每个周末自己去倒垃圾，是省钱，也麻烦。。 -桃子苹果- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/07/2014 postreply 10:32:52
