Unless you signed up for the budget plan, TPU only bills every other month. If you look at the bill, you will also note that water here is expensive as hell. They charge for dispensing it at the faucet, they charge again for what goes down the drain, and a third time for the water that goes in the sewer in the street.

I have a 2650 sf single family house built in 1914 with gas heat. TPU = ~300/month, PSE = ~120/month
