Hi all,

just quickly wondering if anyone owns/rents a single family home in Newton, and could give a quick avg, or estimate of Utilities (oil heat, water, electric, etc) Any insight is helpful

Thanks!

Can you answer your own question regarding utilities for the town you're currently living in without any info? It is very different if you set your thermostat 80Fvs 60F during winter and 60Fvs80F during the summer. Cold vs warm winter/summer also affect utilities. 3min vs 30min shower.

If you look at the water rate, after a certain point, they charge you 50% more.
