Karl,

I see a lot of posts about costs, but what you really need to do is get the Kw/h rates of the surrounding communities and compare that to what you are paying. Do the same with water and trash. Comparing total costs isn't going to tell you anything when someone might have brand new AC units and keep the house at 75 and someone else has 20 year old units and a 68 degree average temperature.

Are your current rates higher or lower than those communities? If it is lower, perhaps your utility needs to raise the rates a little. Is your local utility breaking even or do they want the cash to prop up other areas of the budget? If the latter, then then need to look at those areas rather than selling off assets.
