Might be great getting a small bill right now, but in 6 months times getting a bill for 9 months of usage with 15 days to pay is not an ideal situation.

My Nanna's new bill showed bugger all usage for the past 3 months, I checked the meter and it hasnt moved since the reading in early July.
She was gonna just ring AGL and tell them- I'm skeptical how they will deal with the situation...
Should she let it ride and play dumb? Is it their problem? Or will they charge her an estimated use type scenario?
I assume as it isnt her property she wouldnt be charged to have it fixed?
I dont want her honesty to cost her big $$
Any advice or experience on this matter would be good.
Cheers,
MatteeG

The water usage plummeted and it also coincided with good winter rains to fill their massive rainwater tank but SA Water were convinced the meter was faulty![]()
never charged them a dime. Mum was just laughing at these blokes trying different meters over a couple of billing cycles before giving up

the first bill we got was $37. i was stoked, but just thought maybe we only just caught the end of a billing cycle or something, and our next bill would be more like we were used too.
three months later another bill arrived. $42. had the same discussion with the missus at the time you're having with us now. 'Should we own up and call them and tell them there is a problem, or wing it and hope they don't notice?" we winged it!
three months later, $49. same discussion again, same decision!
last bill upon moving out..............$52. moved out. that was about 3 years ago. made sure they had my updated contact details so if they did decide to charge us, they'd be able to find us and would screw with our credit rating etc....
