"I haven't paid an electricity bill since 1970", says Perez with noticeable glee. He can afford to be smug, because he's "off-grid" - unconnected from city power, water, and sewage supplies!

No doubt the utility companies would not like this concept to become affordable for the average homeowner or business. Noted, and thank you.

he's lucky he is able to disconnect from water and sewer.

in most cities, this is still not an option. no water and sewer means no Certificate of Occupancy.
