Cable television is comparable to what you would find in other areas.
Water and sewer cost (excluding trash and recycling pickup which is included in your monthly dues) is approximately $50 per month.
We have natural gas for heating. Wood burning stoves and wood burning fireplaces are not allowed. Monthly costs during the winter may be as high as $100 per home. In summer the cost will probably be less than $15.
Electricity costs are perhaps $30-$50 in winter, but may go up in the summer to $80, depending on the type of cooling you use. Because of the drop in temperatures when the sun goes down, our cooling systems usually run for only a few hours per day. Some homes use only ceiling fans and whole house attic fans in our mild climate.
Broadband internet, CenturyLink DSL and Sparklight cablemodem, are both available to each home. The cost depends on the connection speed you choose but is comparable to other cities.
