ParticipantSounds like he’s getting what he deserves. He needs to learn how insulate his house, shade windows, and turn off the damn AC more often. Add solar for a 30% tax write off won’t hurt either.
My electric was 11.47 last month. RB area.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=Rt.66]That’s disgusting! When I send in my power bill I write SCAM on the check, useless I know, but it makes me feel better 🙂
Isn’t deregulation nice? On top of crazy high rates and non-sensical base lines, if you go to build in a rural area you get another nasty surprise. It used to be that in exchange for being able to have a monopoloy electric companies were required to bring power to pretty much anyone that wanted it, sans-charge. Thats why you see old ranches and such all alone way out in the boonies with miles of power poles to feed just one residence. Today to get power costs $8k-$16k per pole!

Has anyone else seen water bills shoot up?Monday, April 27, 2009
Now I can’t afford to buy a house
‘I just got my friggin water bill! HOLY $#!T There’s gonna be a lot of dead lawns around the IE if my bill is any indication. Last month $50, this month $260!!! I used the exact same amount of water as last year (give or take a cup or two). They must have my baseline amount set the same as a 500 s/f apartment.

San Diego has one of the highest utility costs in CA. This is a known fact. You could move up to L.A. where Edison charges a lot less, but then you will deal with the higher cost of homes up there. You can move to the east coast, but then you would need to deal with buying heating oil which is considerably expensive too.
Yes, I know, the world is out to get you.

ParticipantDunno much more than mentioned. He has a propane tank on site so that might be added to the equation. I think he said it is about $800 to fill. Can’t remember.
He did show me this heating system that ran hot water through pipes in the slab. The house was on a few acres with some fruit trees but not, what I would call, groves.
He mostly mentioned all the tacked on pumping fees and other miscellaneous fees.
btw-he was the MOST malcontent guy I’ve met. I guess he took a beating on that house. He was the contractor and was just hating life, so cal, family, dry weather,… it got to be funny after a while.
