and what about the BAR ASSOCIATION????

I would not settle for an ADJUSTMENT - I would want a whole new meter - no one would tell me that they will adjust down a bill to make it more normal - I PAY FOR WHAT I USE - PERIOD!

and they would go back 5 months!

I`m so glad I found this forum ! I am feeling better about it all already .

stick with us kid - you can't go wrong - we have a great family here

Calling your utility company is a great start. You may be surprised to find out that you may be charged for other peoples useage like neighbors, former owners, contractors, builders, and the like. It does happen. You may have also used more electricity while moving in. Another thing you may need to do is to have your meter checked to be sure it's working properly. In addition, in some larger cities, the utility company makes an estimate of useage periodically instead of having it read every month. Good luck!
