Editor's note: This survey is not based on scientific, representative samples and is solely for KOAA purposes.
Colorado Springs customers are now feeling the full effect of the utility price hikes that were approved by Colorado Springs Utilities November 15. The price hike took effect in December, and customers were not happy about it.
If you are really feeling the pinch of the utility bills, there is potential assistance available through Colorado's LEAP program.
