I had the same thing happen with my neighbour ( bit looney but ya know).. PoCO changed his meter and his bill was unreasonably high the next reading... He took readings and did all that and came to the conclusion the new meter was not calibrated correct.. after about 6 mos of complaining the PoCo changed the meter again and everything returned to normal but did he get reimbursed?? Heck no!!

Now.... If we can only convince him that only opening his main water valve 1/4 of the way will NOT reduce his water bill......... Ah well thats another story! [Linked Image]
