Some are not reading correctly. The heat tape was on the water pipe and using electricity whether or not the OP was even on the site. It was keeping the parks pipes warm so they wouldn't freeze. If the park intends to be open during the winter months, then they the park need to pay for whatever they need to be open and providing water. Or, they need to advertise that during times of cold weather the water may not be on. It is not up to all the rver's that stop to pay to keep their pipes in working order. It is up to the longer term campers to pay the electric bill for the electric they use for their rig. We once were at a park that we later found out that the PARK OFFICE was wired onto our electric meter! After much go around we were reimbursed for most of the electric charges over the 3 months we were there.
