What if I do not agree with my water or electric meter reading shown on my bill?
The City's new policy when a customer dispute of water or electric meter readings is as follows:
• A customer may dispute a water or electric meter reading by asking to have his meter reread. The following options are:
• $55.00 charge if it is correct.
• No charge if it is incorrect, or if there is a leak.
• A customer can reread his own meter, and we will do an adjustment to the billing if needed.
• During times of disaster, ex. Flood, Ice Storm, Tornado the meters will be estimated. The following options are:
• $55.00 charge to reread it.
• A customer can reread his own meter, and we will do an adjustment to the billing if needed.
• Pay the existing bill, wait for the next month's reading, and the billing clerk will adjust the billing if needed at that time.
