Utility Costs On The Rise
Mount Pleasant Water Works (MPWW) and SCE&G both recently announced increases in their rates for 2010. MPWW increased its rates by 9% starting January 1, 2010. SCE&G is seeking to raise rate by 9.5% with the first phase starting on July 15, 2010.
Electricity, water and gas rates are still relatively inexpensive when compared with other states so it is not always on homeowners minds. This latest round of increases should serve as a friendly reminder to pay more attention to our consmption behaviour. A great solution is a elctricity consumption device, such as TED 5000 (http://www.theenergydetective.com/ted-5000-overview.html). This device will display your real-time and historic consumption data. It also integrates with Google's PowerMeter application to allow you to view your data from anywhere in the world.
