Of course they are all hooked up off our transformer......it's a good thing we have our own meter from our own line.

That would be a much better arrangement - a compromise - but they dont have anything like that - those that have paid have all got meters. Some have no power, my friend is running a wire from the house next door! She pays them a small amount each month towards their bill.
So many times I have nearly paid the connection fee but then I dont really want to get lumbered with the monthly bills, especially if she then decides to help out another neighbour!!!
