My neighbor across the street with a big swimming pool and a casual attitude about leaving lights on runs up bills in excess of two hundred dollars a month, compared to my usual twelve or so dollars.
Yeah, our first house here had a pool and the pump ran 3 hours a day, which coupled with our normal power usage, pushed our bill to $3500 pesos ($195). I'm looking forward to lower bills at our new place although I haven't gotten the bi-monthly bill yet.
