I think there is a misunderstanding about profiting foe the electric as well…
The the utility charges $5 maybe you can only charge for the electric.. Plus a fee for servicing each site with the now CG’s electric
It would be different if the utility owned the CG meters and the CG wiring and the CG cost of distributing the electric, and the cost of accounting for it…
So even though the electric cost is $5 wouldn’t necessarily mean the total cost they will only charge you will be $5…
The only complaint the OP has is the discrepancy between the meter reading because no one was there to read it immediately after they vacated the site… that they were more than compensated for that… accepting the compensation is an agreement, so no more argument there…
The only real choice for the CG is to turn the water to the sites off, and let people carry water to their rig, or shut the gate…
Since this was the only open CG in the area, it would be an easy decision to just close for the winter…
