We want to meter & record the electrical usage,
and ask for money donations to pay for electricity.
We will record the usage & send payment for utilities to the Electric,
water, sewage companies.
It should be roughly approximately $10 per day for electricity.
This will save on gasoline for electric generators.
It will be quieter than gas engine generators.
The generators are useful for backup, or temporary extra usage.
