So apparently the lady that looked at this bill thought i was running a shopping centre in my yard cause she asked me if I’m sure I’m not running a business from the house.

Also she said said normally you pay and then they resolve. Yes they always say this but look at the amount and even with payment terms, i mean common.

I have lost all hope for these people, I’m handing this to my attorneys to handle, so more bills for me cause they are so useless.

Also since they are “government officials” a threat is treated very seriously and you may be asked to leave(i really dont think anyone here would of not reacted the way i did)

As i walked out an elderly couple said i should not be talking down to people like that and using such language that everyone can hear because they just doing their jobs(para-phrasing)

Poor old man, i feel bad for what i replied with.............yeah no i don’t


Tldr; municipality cannot sort out my issue, has been escalated. They asked if I’m willing to pay, i said no. Angry words out and i had to leave.

Based on that "detailed account" there is something very wrong. The first line is correct if you deduct previous from current readings - 45 kWh.
However if you look at the second line, the meter appears to have gone backwards by 22kWh in 3 days and for that they are claiming usage of 999978kWh. That is much more than the total usage recorded on the meter. There is no arithmetical logic on those figures.

Both you and i have a brain in our head and paired with common sense we can see there is a major error but when last have you spoken to a brick because I’m telling you it would understand better then those people.

Take a photo of your meter with the current reading on. That should be interesting to see

If i get home before its dark i will get the picture

This is not the first time iv had issues, i was slapped with a R50k bill before for incorrect metre reading which i paid over a period.

We also had issues with property evaluations which they came down very drastically with(just look at the bill), one time i actually gained.

that is some seriously interesting maths there :)
good luck buddy
 
I was just looking at the figures again, and if you add the alleged usage to the previous reading then it comes to that figure. The meter has basically clocked over.......allegedly that is
 
If you have the standard 60A supply to the house then the maximum you could possibly use in a 31 day month is 10267 kWh.

that is correct
122929+999978-999999=122908

Yes standard, whats funny is during the day their is very little usage except for geyser(i suppose) and electronics in sleep mode. After 5pm thats when the real usage starts with aircons and food stuff (2 adults and 1 child) so we cant even account for full usage.

You would have to be drawing in excess of 5800A 24/7 for 31 days to consume that amount. There must be a serious amount of burned out wire in your street!

Makes me laugh at how incompetent the municipality is.

We recently had the water cut at the old house because the doofuses kept on adding to our bill after it was told it would be written off due to a faulty meter and start over with the new meter installed. They did sweet fcuk all and cut the water off.

My dad had to go sort it out.
