For those who never thought about this before they moved into cohousing, a monthly water bill has a minimum charge. A one person household probably won't ever reach the minimum. If the water bill is aggregated, you pay only for the water, not the service charges for each unit. A tip is to remind people to conserve so the habit of "I'm not paying for it so what?" doesn't take hold. Averaged over households, we use far less than the average household. We have business class service for two business class modems that serve the whole community. It's substantially less than if each household had their own modems, with faster speeds and better response times when we (rarely) need servicing. We have one from RCN and one from Comcast so we have backup if one company's power goes out. Sharon ---- Sharon Villines Takoma Village Cohousing, Washington DC http://www.takomavillage.org
