I have an empty house in CO Springs with the heat set to 52 so the pipes don’t freeze. I’ve got a $93 utility bill every month. That’s because the fees add up to around $85 a month. $85 a month in fees for being hooked up to Colorado Springs utilities. Its stupid.

Called a neighbor a short time ago, he said the power never went off-maybe Xcel decided to do it another time due to the cold, whatever

Just as an aside...

The scammers are so good today, they can call you, and make you think they are the power company, and they are going to turn off your power.

I'm an industry veteran, and even I was ready to send them my bank account info so they would not shut off my power.

Be very wary.

This wasn't that type of message-I've received those in the past. This was that work was going on that would require the power shutoff, not one of those "shutting it off for no payment" scam calls.
