My last bill was for 700$. I suspect my neighbour's have a grow op and are stealing my electricity. I only have 2 tanks and it's hard to believe they are responsible for that high a bill.

Another thing I'm looking into right now is one of those zero waste water kits from BWI plumbing. Can hook into your existing RO unit. I don't completely understand how they work tho.. Something about pumping the waste RO water back into the hot water tank or something. I make more water than my plants can consume :-(

I think my hydro bill is about $100 a month. Water (with sewage and garbage) is about $40 a month. Should be interesting to see how much the hydro jumps with the new tank.

Hydro is $110/month, water is included in the rent and likely not metered.

Wow $700! Yes I would have BC Hydro look into it for sure. My last bill was $400.00, that was for 2 months of hydro with a lot of Christmas lights on, 155fish tank, electric heat + hot tub.

You know the "bilboard" comming into chilli. The saying is so true. I'd get that power thing checked out. Wow $700.
