That's what I pay for a 4 person household in an older home. For a single person that seams high

One person uses the same amount of refrigerators as four people, keeps the house the same temperature as four people, pays the same monthly amount for internet as four people. Sure they probably use less water, do a little less laundry, take fewer showers, but depending on the individuals personal conservation efforts and the efficiency of the house itself with weatherproofing and specific appliances one person could easily have a bill close to a four person household, especially accidentally before they really get to know their new house well enough to account for it

This is correct. I live alone and my bill last month was $390.00. Gas home, poor insulation, I don't overextend or abuse my utilities by any means but man the bill can be rough.

It's a smooth $150 in the summer, at least.
