Here's what happened to me. I got a letter from the water department that I am using way to much irrigation water. More than 30,360 gallons in one month. I shut off the irrigation water and paid the bill.

A couple of weeks later someone from the water people called me and said it was a mistake and they credited my account. I noticed that someone from the water department replaced part of the cover that protects the water meter. The part that the meter reader person places their gadget on the cover and gets the reading. Only thing I can think of is that part was defective and gave a false reading.
