You are most likely correct, it does seem high and the electric utility should fix the problem. First, contact them to see if indeed they have a problem or you have a bad meter (I assure you that their meters are more accurate than yours). There could be a problem with a primary neutral, be too close to a substation or voltage regulators, a capacitor bank in the neighborhood that shouldn't be turned on when it is, etc. Second (if you get no satisfaction . . . HMMM . . . no, I will leave that thought alone), contact the state's public service commission. I assure you that they will cause the electric utility to react.

Try the electric utility route first, contacting the public service commission is like driving a tack with a sledgehammer. [Linked Image]
