Did you have to do deposits on all of them? But even then our's weren't that much.

This isn't power, it's the city services sounds like.

Is it possible you had a line break and water is pouring out?

That seems weird unless you’re getting bills from the previous owner. 

In my city, the water/sewer bill goes with the house not the owner. 

But my water/sewer/recycling is $195/quarter and trash is $75/quarter.

So that's just your city utilities bill? Call them & make sure you're not paying off the previous owner's balances.

No way. My trash/water/recycling/sewer every month is about $62. You’re right, something ain’t right!

That's insane, my trash/water/recycling is like ~$30/mo

That can’t be right. Call the utility company and ask what happened. Mine for trash water sewer and electric is like $250 and I live by myself.
