So we have a camper at a seasonal camp ground. Our meter has not moved for months, we keep getting electrical bills for $0.00. Yet we still have electricity coming to our camper. All the sites have individual meters that get read every month.When we first noticed the low bill, we contacted the front office to say “we think the meter is defective, we had an extremely low bill”, their response was “don’t worry, next time they read the meter, it will catch up”…..well it hasn’t.My question is : is the park being charged for the electricity, and I am not getting chargedOr is the town paying and the campground is not being charged for my monthly usage?I think I am going to mention it again…I just do not want to have it come back at me.Any suggestions?

Lol, meter is broke.IMO, you did you due diligence...

Barry, It sounds like the meter is owned by the campground. That be the case, you have mentioned it to them, and you might mention it again but if their bookkeeping doesn't flag a zero bill, then they are missing something. I suspect that you like them and the place. Try to get their attention again.Matt

Yes, just want to do the right thing

By all means, do the right thing.....but I would suggest doing it via email so you have a trail. If you get an outrageous bill in the future it will show your actions and intent.

Do the right thing again by advising them in writing. Remember the person you give the writing. Keep a copy and enjoy.

Side tangental note
Filled up the Jeep yesterday
About 5-6 Gallons in suddenly the counters on the pump Reset to zero (Both Dollar and gallon) The "Discount" remained set however but the cost went to zero

I filled up and talked to the attendant "Nothing I can do about it" He said.
Five gallons of free gas and 12 more at 50¢ off..> Good day

What's an alligator jar, same as a crocodile or shark jar. Money only goes in until it's needed to pay the bill.

Thats pretty much what my point has been, somewhere along the line he's going to have to pay, there is no free lunches. Doesn't matter what he has done ,doesn't change the fact, its not free electricity .

If that was your point, I completely misunderstood you. I took your posts to mean he should continue pursuing getting the CG to fix the meter. He is under no legal or moral obligation to continue pursuing the issue once he had reported it to management. If I misunderstood you, I apologize.

Thanks.No problem. Seems like the OP has disappeared anyway..
