Those four utility bills come every month - without failing.
.
Comcast is usually pretty standard, depending if I got a little bored and ordered a movie or not.
.
PPL--not too bad, but it might get that way soon when the rate freeze stops.
.
UGI is always a problem in the winter as it is with everyone else.

Then there is the water bill. I never thought my water bill was a problem. It ranges from $30-$40 a month. Not too shabby for a two bedroom apartment.
.
The problem is that my bathtub constantly drips. I wouldn't have even noticed it if it weren't for the metal drain that echos in the bathroom every time a drop drips. It's so frustrating that no matter how tight I squeeze the nobs, or how much I try to get it tight....it drips.
After learning from Susan Turcmanovich of the Pennsylvania American Water company that my drip could be wasting about 14,256 gallons each year, I was mortified. I couldn't believe how much water I was wasting. Not to mention, how much money I was literally letting down the drain.
.
Needless to say, I think fixing my leaky bathtub has become top priority on my list.

On a sidebar. We received a press release about a Rain Barrel Workshop in Lackawanna County. I've included the information below, but what's cool about this event is that your can actually reduce your water use by reusing mother nature's storm water. It's and idea I was hesitant about at first, but now I think it may be an option to explore.
Check it out and let me know what you think!
