My municipal power monopoly charges me, on the "make it all a uniform payment all year" plan, for a small garbage can, water, sewer, "surface water", and electricity, about $270 USD / month. That's in a multiple-computers and technologies house with heat and some of the appliances powered by natural gas, handled by the regional electric and gas monopoly, which adds approximately $10 USD / month in the summer months and about $100 USD / month in the winter, with a thermostat for heating set to 65-67 when the house is occupied and 62 when it is not.
