      <![CDATA[I don't live in the Springs Utilities service area so I have to (and stress HAVE TO since they suck) get my utilities through other providers who have the same type of program so this isn't anything CSU concocted just to screw their rate payers. It's just a matter of rate payers not using their gourds.

      <![CDATA[I find this pretty surprising; not that Ms. Pierce had an increase in her bill, but that she seemed to think that budget billing gave you a flat rate no matter the usage. <br>
<br>
I can't believe that a person would think that they could almost double their utility use and not have to pay double the bill, even on budget billing.<br>

"Why would you let somebody get that far in the hole?"
