I agree totally, except, I was made aware of a reading problem that had nothing to do with the meter reader. We had a house on our street take a lightning strike to a large tree in the middle of their yard. When the meter reader came around, I asked her if there was anything odd with the readings in our area, and she said yes, several had NO readings. When I told her about the lightning strike, she said that made PERFECT sense. Seems the potential for your meter being affected by a close by strike could potentially be a player. Just FYI
