City policies: water and electricity

[benzoll]

Hello, if you have not seen it.
For example, in a city of 40,000 habitants, 7,000 € / week cost of electricity, if the policy is put electricity meters, up overall spending 19,000 € / week.
Although I save half, 3,500€ / week plus light, I lose 19 - 3.5 = 15,500€ / week.
If the ordinance is to control spending and improve, where is the gain?

The same goes for water policy. Are they snuck an extra zero on the cost of each policy?

*I used google translator, sorry for my English.

They are meant to be used on buildings that spend more than average.

For example, if you use the police for power at a district you make over your water pumping station and sewage outflow you will save A LOT of money on powering those buildings.

Agriculture specialized industry uses 20% more water than the normal industry, so by using the water police in the agricultural districts you will end up saving money.

Ok, I have to try.
In general these policies are not profitable. Maybe if a particular way.

I don't use either of those policies, I'm usually making too much $ to care. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to be able to use them but they just feel boring and pointless to me. Personal opinion of course.

I use them when i'm short power or water and don't have the money to increase the supply of them
