Anyone have a gas bill skyrocket this month?
My gas bill went from $82 to $190.

What the hell.

It's never been CLOSE to that high the whole time I've lived in this house. Last year at this time it was $67.

WTF IS GOING ON?

Do they even have meter readers now? I though they switched over to scanners or something. They just point and a data recorder records it?

Most utilities in metro areas have some kind of AMR on their gas meters. Either drive or walk-by, or completely human-free.

Some day, Donger's kids are going to come across a large box of notebooks filled with a lifetime of detailed meter readings.

They will look at each other and say, "Geez, Dad was a nut."

That's not going to happen. I record the meter reads in an Excel spreadsheet.

Not the same impact as a box of notebooks, but somehow, I'm guessing they'll reach the same conclusion.

Curious as to how long you have been doing this, why you decided to do so and if you ever found a discrepancy?

Wait, I see you were doing it before this...

Yes, it's not like I hide it. They just say that I'm "special."

I had the same thing happen a couple of years ago. I had a gas bill of about $60 in August. It's normally less than $15 in the summer. They had replaced my meter and the adjustment was made on subsequent bills. Hopefully, that's what will happen with your situation. I have Kansas Gas Service and I'd assume MGE will do the same.

Maybe his ERT went bad. I worked on the crew that installed those Itron units all over KC back in 1996-97. They have lithium batteries, but are not self-charging.

Definitely looks like some type of error to me. Not a matter of your usage going up.

Just call em tomorrow, slap em around and they'll send someone out to look at it again.

My theory is this. The meter was read incorrectly at 6972. Was likely 6792 or something like that. They then installed a new meter which is why it went back to zero unless your meter rolls over after 7,000 which wouldn't make sense to me. It should roll over at 9,999.

The problem now is proving an incorrect reading on a meter that is no longer in use. Had it been a misread and you had the same meter then it'd be an easy fix if they just checked it again.
