In the winter time here, we have wind chills down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit, with normal temps well below zero.
Welcome to Kansas. Where one day it's 60, and the next its 28.
If you don't like the weather here in Florida...wait 30 minutes or hop your neighbors fence.
I am from California, we have palm trees and sunny days a lot of the year. -10 is fricken cold. Freeze the nards off cold. -10 is the frozen tundra cold. Hell the frozen foods section of the grocer is warmer than that. Its actualy warmer in my freezer. I need my parka now.:ninja:
Im deadling with a utility company that is lying about past occurances and its attempting to ad insult to injury and I have no other option but to bend over an comply because there is NO other company I can go to. What would you say is YOUR worst utility companies?
Water Works. I tend to land on that more than I do Electric Company. It's not so bad, unless someone owns both. Then you have to pay 10 times the dice roll. Sheesh.
Bucket on a rope?Lol. I get water from a well

I would be pissed, too.We had an issue here where the private owned water company had the sheriffs dept handing out first warnings than 200.00 fines for using to much water...then they issue an out of county company the right to draw a million gallons of water a month for water bottling company...were the residents PISSED lol...your going to fine us for using too much water and your giving a million gallons a month away....
This is not available in all place. Only some.Not sure if you know this but you can choose a different supplier for your electricity. That is if you are not in a Municipal Co-op. It won't change who delivers your power and you will still have your gas coming from the utility. But at least you can get the Electric cheaper.
Not sure if this is the problem you have but it's an option.

and how often do you run it dry?
All the municipal water here is from a well even though there is a giant water pipeline underneath us that would reduce the price but the town is run by idiots.
Water rights are often tricky and convoluted. Just because there's a water pipe nearby doesn't mean that the city has the option to purchase any of the water, nor does it mean that the owner of the water wants to sell.All the municipal water here is from a well even though there is a giant water pipeline underneath us that would reduce the price but the town is run by idiots.

1 word: Government.
Wells run dry in certain areas and others never...you may have to put in a new pump every 10-15 yrs average...like in mountainous W virginia where theres alot of shale if your well goes dry and they do...your screwed, it costs a bundle to drill a new well there...in florida if your well goes dry its not nearly as costly, you may have to drill 600 ft in W Virgina of rock and shale...and 60 ft of sand in florida...
I know. I was more referencing the common phrase which really means they have drained their well too low and have to wait for it to fill back up before they can use water again. That happens a lot in my area if you have lots of clothes to wash, kids to bathe, etc. Grit is the bigger contaminate problem in my area. I am on city water that is pumped out of a river that hasn't ran dry yet (but we do get boiled water warnings once in a blue moon due to torrential rains putting too much gunk running off into the river). I won't have that luxury when I build my new house.
