Re: [Vo]:Even the most reliable industrial meters can fail

Jed, I think you are just indoctrinated by the system - and I wish it was as you believe. I hope you have the clout you think - but I certainly would look upon the situation with very critical eyes. I mentioned that the PgnE , and the PUC and the politicians will form alliances with rules and laws

Re: [Vo]:Even the most reliable industrial meters can fail

Hello Jed, I am glad you met nice people. I am not saying that there are no nice people working for the government. I think that kind of conduct is spread evenly. I just ended a tax audit. No, no courtesy, no understanding just what I expected. I know I was unlucky zI did not get one of the

Re: [Vo]:Even the most reliable industrial meters can fail

Well, it turns out that flowmeter has a decimal point on it. So it wasn't wrong after all. The decimal point was obscured by mud, but the County advised me it has one, and my daughter's cell phone camera revealed it. I am still getting invoices for $200 with huge amounts of water consumed. No one

Re: [Vo]:Even the most reliable industrial meters can fail

I am glad there was an answer to your water problem, Jed. I hope you have learnt that having to deal with large government is not fun. Even if your water problem is OK now, you do not like the cost, if I hear you right. Because there is rule or law in every phase of our lives you can do nothing

In reply to Jed Rothwell's message of Wed, 2 Sep 2015 15:49:15 -0400: Hi Jed, If the meter is being read by a person then obviously the mud obscuring the decimal point combined with the meter reader's unfamiliarity with the new meters results in the meter reader making the obvious mistake. If

From Terry, Would those invisible fences with the shock collar work on a cat? They're a lot less expensive and seem to work for dogs. We actually discussed the matter. My wife thinks the shock treatment would be disastrous to try on our outdoor cat. She may be right. If we are

From David, [snip] ... AFAICT every subdivision provides, and insists on the maintenance of, fences surrounding the back yards. About 6 feet tall, wood, cat-proof at least when new. Unless your cat likes to jump! I’ll take your advice and not move to Texas. Incidentally

Steven, you could move to Texas (!! NO don't move to Texas ! Too hot). Here in San Antonio, AFAICT every subdivision provides, and insists on the maintenance of, fences surrounding the back yards. About 6 feet tall, wood, cat-proof at least when new. Unless your cat likes to jump! A Texas

RE: [Vo]:Even the most reliable industrial meters can fail

Jed, I hope you can get the county to respond to your latest measurement. In regarding to city matters, I think you are likely to get a better ending than what our household is currently dealing with. We have a new neighbor who is threatening to call the city police or animal control to
