Age shouldn't be determining factor for utility bill

Is it fair that two adults and one baby living in their own home in Delta be paying the same utility fees as a family of five?

We also only put out one can of garbage a week. We also only each shower three to five times a week. We only wash our clothes once a week even with a baby.

I don't think it should just be seniors that get a break on their utility fees, especially if we are using less than two seniors. Age should not matter when it comes to what families in Delta pay for utility bills.
