household costs in SLC (apartment, to rent, townhome)

[angella]

Hello all

I am moving to SLC and am looking to rent a property, but need some assistance with average household running costs.
I'm from the UK, so have no knowledge of the costs of running a house in SLC.
i need info on what are the services used in a house, i.e. gas, electric, water etc... and what are the average likely monthly cost of these kinds of services.

I know this is specific to the usage and size, but an average 2 bed house/complex home, with 2 adults living in it would give some idea on a likely cost.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

We have a 2100 sq ft 3 level townhome and I can only speak for Electricity (we don't have natural gas) Summer is probably $70 / month with thermostat at 75 degrees F. Winter is usually about the same.

As far as Cable and high speed internet go...we usually pay about $100 / month for both.

Our association covers the cost for water and trash. All together I would assume a normal couple would rack up $400-500 in costs per month.
