No resolution in re utility bill (OT)
I got a visit from the head of the city utilities department today. No one
can account for the excessive readings on my electric and water bills. I'm wondering where to turn next for help in investigating this matter. |

I'm wondering where to turn next for help in investigating this matter. Do they agree that it is excessive though? They *must* realize that. They see everyone's bills--they should know that your bill is probably higher than a family that uses a lot more electrical appliances more often than you do. Did they have any suggestions about what to do now? Like getting an electrician to inspect the wiring or something. Would that help? Sherry |

I had an exhorbitant phone bill once, and got no help from the phone company. The folks at the Corporation Commission resolved the matter, and were *very* helpful. Sherry |

Their only suggestion was to write down the readings every day and watch for a "spike". I'll do that, but I doubt there will be any significant differences from day to day. |

I'm wondering where to turn next for help in investigating this matter. Perhaps records of your previous electricity use from your old place? That owuld help prove you couldn't have possibly chewed through that many kilowatts? Good luck. Yowie |

You could try your local TV news station and see if they have any consumer advocates . . . YMMV of course. It sure would. This is a town where you can't ever really fit in unless you were born and raised here, and if you weren't, and cause any "trouble" at all, your life from then on will not be pleasant. |

I remember that same type of town I was born and raised in. We made our money a actually lucky break right place right time and took a chance. We were able to have a good life but we are considered outsiders even though our family was one of the original founding families of the town and some of our family still resides there |
