    Thumbs up WooHoo Utility Bill!!

    We pay our elec/water/sewer/garbage through a town bill each month. Got our bill for March in mail today - being the light & water nazi is starting to pay off. We reduced our electricity by 120 KWH this month for a $10 savings. And, reduced water usage by 6 GAL (not a whole lot - but since we pay water & sewer on every gal every one counts) saving $5 overall. This is just the beginning!!

    Also received our natural gas bill recently. We are on a EPP with them and found out that we will have a credit in June at the end of our year. It feels really good to get hard figures to say what I have been doing is working.

    That's wonderful, at least you can see that the hard work is paying off for you. That's great to have a credit for June!

    I worked really hard last month and ours went down about $10 on the electric bill. So it was $91. I also have been working on the water bill and was excited that it went from $54 to $41!! That was a pretty big drop.
