"Light bill," "power bill" or "electric bill" in your neck of the woods? (pay, water)

I'm in Tennessee and it's Electric Bill maybe because my apartment is entirely electric so it's the only thing they bill me for. The apartment complex includes sewer and water in my rent. But the bill itself that I receive monthly on a postcard isn't titled anything. I'm looking at it right now. The website calls it the Utility Bill.

Power bill.

Upstate NY/southern tier.

I hear electric bill more commonly up north of here.

In Canada, most people say Hydro.

Haha, the three grand divisions, so in TN we have at least three separate experiences.

Rapid City, SD...electric bill. We also have a gas bill and a utility bill from the city which includes water, sewer and trash.

Maybe that's one of the places I've heard it. I know some older folks in PA say that. I'm pretty sure my grandmother did.

I say Light bill in Texas

I have lived in Texas for 25 years and in the South most of my life. I say "electric bill," but I occasionally have heard people, mostly older than me, say "light bill."
