I'm one county over from Allen, but prices should be similar. It would help if you let us know what type of house, how big, heating/cooling, etc.

Our water bill is $20-25/month for 2 adults. Electric with central heat/air ranges from $75  in the summer to as much as $350 in the winter. If you have a newer house with better insulation and/or supplement your heat with gas/wood stove, you could keep it under $150 all year long. I don't have a recent bill nearby, but I can try and look and see what the cost per kw is to help you estimate it better.

SCRTC is the big phone/cable/internet provider in the area. $100/month will cover a home phone, mid-level cable package and 3 Meg internet.
