This means a history of the customer's hydro/water consumption will accumulate, allowing them to compare month-to-month and year-toyear costs. Oakville Hydro officials say all information supplied when a customer registers and the indi vidual consumption data will be kept confidential and won't be provided to electricity retailers without the customer's consent. The initiative will help reduce Hydro's mailing of 874,000 pieces of paper each year to its 47,000 customers. If all Hydro customers opted into the new program, 125 trees could be saved a year. In light of that fact, Hydro will donate a tree to an Oakville park for every 500 customers who join the View Your Bill plan.
