Reducing Utility Expenses is Easier Than You Think

Take a look at your communities electric bills.  You probably see several meters being billed to the community.   Now take a closer look. 

How many meters are billed for small dollar amounts?  Something in the neighborhood of $15.00 to $30.00 per month.  Now look closer.  How many are billed for 3 to 5 KWH each month?  I found 5 meters being billed for small amounts of usage.  In fact the taxes and usage costs were around $1.50 per month for each of the 5 meters.  The meter rental fee is more than the cost of the electricity around $17.00 per meter. 

If these are meters running to the irrigation system then get controllers that use batteries.  It could add up to a savings of around $900.00 per year.
