The topic: Open letter to my utility companies

----------------------------------------------

Dear San Diego Gas & Electric (a Sempra company) and Helix Water District,

You suck.

You tell us to “cut back”, “cut back”, “cut back” and we do.  And what do you do?  Because everybody is “cutting back”, you’re not selling as much gas, electricity and water, and because your overhead is the same, but you aren’t getting as much money, you raise our rates!

Here’s an idea.  How about you, SDG&E, take a little less of those record profits you make and drop our utility rates?   And you, Helix Water District, how about you cut back by not getting the best and brand spanking new equipment for a couple of years and have those people driving around in Helix vehicles not get top of the line and go with cloth seats.  Yeah, get an am/fm radio and air conditioning, but forget the power windows and such.

And give us a break on our rates.

Our gas and electric bill was $496 for July-August, $509 for August-September.  Our water bill just got here.  We were down in usage almost ten percent from last year. And our bill (two months) is $437.66.

SDG&E and Helix Water District?

You suck.

Sincerely yours.

 



This happens every year here in Texas too. CPS energy says it costs them more for the power so they have to pass it on to us. We have to use the A/C for at least 3 months out of the year at full power, day and night, the last bill was close to $400. The water isn’t so bad, we went on rationing so everyone’s yards look like crap with once weekly watering but the bill was only $59, our sewer is separate and only $30.

Bravo!  I don’t have nearly the utility bills you have.  We get garbage pickup through our utility service and they had been doing it twice a week.  Then they stopped, but they were still charging the same.  They’d apparently put this in the newspaper (which I don’t read) and on TV (I often miss the local news), but never in our bills (which I ALWAYS read) that they were doing only once weekly pickup to save money.  THEY save money, but we still pay the same for half the service.  Gotta love their thriftiness.
