April 30, 2012



It is overcast today so it may be difficult to read my meter photo.

But the reading is 2333.

This is important because I have received my billing statement for March.

And, once again, I am being charged on the basis of an estimated reading, not the actual reading.

The billing company claims that my meter reading on March 29 was 3750. In fact, my actual meter reading four days later was 1982 — and today's reading is 1417 below the estimate on the bill.

This estimate is based on the assumption that I used a daily average of 30 Kwh — but, as you can see from all the photos I have taken in the last four weeks — and they are all accessible right here on this blog — I have never used 30 Kwh in a single day.

That will certainly change as we move farther into the summer season.

But there is no reason for me to have to pay for summer–like consumption in the late winter and spring.
