No they did the same to us.  Then they said that they hadn't been able to
read my meter for four months.  Get this, in December the pin head meter
reader cut across my front yard (the one with 3 flipping feet of snow on
it) put a size 14 boot smack dab on the center of a juniper shrub in the
process.  He gets to the gate and DUH it doesn't open!  You see I have
gates on both sides of my house, one along the garage and one on the other
side (the grass side).  Would a thinking person even attempt to enter the
yard from the side that had not been cleared?  Who clears the grass side?

The guy at customer service was very nice about the estimate and said that
if we wanted we could only pay what we normally pay and they wouldn't
charge a late fee on the balance.  Hmmm customer service?
