Are you generating power and water (through solar, dew collectors, wind turbines etc)? These can reduce your bills.

Additionally, any excess power/water you generate can be sold and you'll get the money in exchange.

This is a feature, not a bug. If you are generating more power than you use. the excess gets sold for money. Easily avoidable. Just don't put power generating objects and eco friendly items on the lot.

@bugpacks Eco friendly -> Saves energy, water, etc. -> Don't pay for these things.

I am not so sure about *getting* money, and why that would occur (unless you are selling excess water or something).
