How much does an average American pay for utilities each month?

Answer:
The national average for a residential water bill in 2009 was $51
The national average for a residential power bill in 2010 was $110.55, with an average use of 958 kWh.

The US Energy Information Administration releases new energy usage stats each year.

Remember though, that it is difficult to estimate an average American's expense for utilities. It depends on what state the person lives in. Some states are warm year round which would entail air conditioning, or cold which would entail more heat. Depending on where you are, the average could be much higher or lower.
