Is utility meter reading getting worse? I ask because we've had an electricity bill (from Powergen) where we've been overcharged by 10,000 kW hrs - the reader apparently didn't spot that the dial on the 10k wheel was between 9 and 0 and not after 0. I'll bet the errors err on the over side.
Also, how much does it cost to replace a dial meter with a modern one? Is this worth doing?
