Utilities:
The gas and electric are set up on budget plans so the bills are the same amount year-round regardless of cost for gas heat in winter and electric A/C in summer. Here’s what we’re currently paying monthly. (Water and trash are actually billed every 2 mths and 3 mths respectively.) Electric-$80; Gas-$71; Water-$10; Trash-$19 (Gas will be lower for new owners because current resident’s health required the heat to be set higher than normal.)
