    One good ice storm and half the province would be out for weeks.

    Posts have repair on them still standing but if you passed with a bike and hockey stick and hit them probably would go over.

      So which was the bill for? the house or the farm and shop?

            That seems crazy. Our 1100 square feet house - baseboard heaters, water heater, stove. Mid Sep to mid October usage $83.59.

              Grassy, Manitoba Hydro must be cheap. Wait intil you get a bunch of windmills and then watch your rates go up.

                It has a heated floor in the 1 bathroom. I phoned saskpower and they said something is crazy about that amount of power. Its 3 times what most houses that size cost to run. Im looking into a ground leak from the meter to the house.

                  Lol! Good luck with the wild goose chase...lol. I've been down that road already. I even had them out to check our meter. Just accept it because it's going nowhere but up. Like they say at telemiracle....where are we going?!.......HIGHER!!!!!!

                    A business owner in Saskatoon thought his bill was way too high for the few computers he was using so he went on the internet and purchased an add-on the line meter. Found out he was paying for his and everyone else in the building because of how it was hooked up. He got a rebate that prepaid his power for years. Goess Sask Power squared up with the other guys who were getting away without paying for years. Maybe you could check for "leaks" in your system.

                      I bought a energy usage meter and hooked it up to my panel yesterday, so far it looks as though the meter at the pole is reading 3 times higher than the meter in the house.
