jcapps, There are provisions in the rules to cover people like us who have already made the cuts, check the back of the notice you got, they should be listed there. Corky |

I never received the notice. I am going by the interview I saw with the DWP spokesman |

jcapps, I think I saw the interview you refer to, shock and awe, with a lot of poetic license! The fact is that you are already covered, if you can save more and do, great, but you are covered if you've already made the changes. Unfortunately you'll still get hit with the water cost increases, but that's across the board and will escalate in log fashion as you use more, even if you've cut by 35%! Corky |

LOL, now that is different take on it. in some ways I agree, middle east oil will eventually run out and if north America is the only place that has it, we control the planet.. |

I got a note with my utility bill a month or 2 ago that showed I had cut my water usage by 55% and my power by 30% . the shock was how much the bill was . It was 60 bucks more than the same billing period last year. I guess I should be thankful I spent all that money to be more efficient. |

WJ's, Time to call the power and water providers and ask for an audit and explanation of the lower use and higher costs, what changed and why? Most companies will do this for you with a simple request. You might find that something changed that you didn't catch. I had one tenant who lost a senior discount and didn't realize it, that was worth about $30 a month. Corky |

I called them and found out that there was a water rate increase as well as a power increase. The bill would have been 45 dollars les under last years rates |

Discount was lost when the daughter changed the account to her name to get the bills sent to her address. Account has to be in the correct name or discount is lost. WJ's, Man that was a hefty hit to take, even worse if you hadn't done the upgrades. Corky |
