If you've been reading this blog over the last month or so, you know that my gas bill for February's usage came in at $12-and some odd cents, with a note that bills might be "estimated" due to inclement weather. I decided to outsmart the system and send what I thought would be close to the actual bill in order to avoid a double bill amount for March's usage. You will also recall that February was a bitter-cold month, so I thought I was being wise. (My furnace is gas, as is the water heater and stove. The clothes dryer is electric, so no problem there.) Thus, I awaited March's bill to see what I really owed when it all evened out.
When the March bill came in, it showed that I had used slightly over $100 in "therms", but it showed a credit from the previous month. Thus, I didn't owe anything, according to the bill, but it didn't account for what really HAD been used in Feb. The bar graph showed February usage as ZERO. Still! I called Vectren. They sent out a technician to check on my meter--which was working fine--but he had instructions to give me a new one...which he did. His comment was that he didn't think there was anything wrong with the old meter. That the fault lay with the "contract meter readers" that the company employs. Not my job to monitor their readers, but now I'm curious how they will bill me next month. We'll see, won't we??
