THA, in turn, measures each individual unit’s electrical consumption using devices called checkmeters. See 24 C.F.R. § 965.-402(b) (1993). THA provides the monthly utility allowance for electricity by computing the “reasonable” usage level and not charging the tenants if their usage is equal to or *610below that level; a “reasonable” usage level is included in each unit’s rent for the month. If a unit uses more electricity than permitted by the utility allowance, THA imposes a surcharge on the tenant for the excess power used. Thus, the excess again is ultimately paid out of the tenant’s pocket, not THA’s.
