I'll bet that they screwed-up the install. They are supposed to log the reading on the old meter and submit that when they install a new meter (which should be at zero). Your next bill should then be an amalgamation of the unbilled consumption on the old meter + the reading on the new meter on the billing date.

They screw this up REGULARLY though. It's a VERY good idea to take th reading of the old meter before they disappear with it so you can fix it when they screw-up.

What the hell? You guys have to pay for water?

on my old tank i ran tap water with prime and i had to clean the glass with the magnet every single day.

now running RO/DI i find that i need to only do it every 3 days or so. and i run way more light on my new tank too.

i wouldnt run tap water in a marine aquarium again. it wont hurt anything, you'll just more algae

I switched to RO/DI water this last month and saw no real increase...

There are some sweet fees going on in those bills, have them review it. Maybe you were charged service on the meter change?

if they charged me to change my landlords water meter thats a good way to get on my bad side , as for the possible mess up for logs i will be having them review it
