One of a series Accuracy is foremost when we read your meter and figure your electric bill In order to save on electricity, a Utah Power customer needs to know how his meter is read, how much electricity household appliances use, how his electric bill is processed, and how to interpret that bill. If you missed our previous messages on how to read your meter and on comparing the energy consumption of appliances, write Reddy Kilowatt, P.O. Box 899, Salt Lake City, Utah 84110, and ask for copies of How to Read a Meter and Become a Look for further messages in this Watt-Watche- r. series. Accuracy is Utah Powers watchword in recording and computing how much electricity you use, and in billing you for it each month. Heres how your bill is processed: Each month, a specially trained meter reader is given individual account meter sheets showing the names and addresses of those customers on his assigned route. When the meter reader arrives at your residence, records he on your account meter sheet the meter reading as shown by the dials on your meter. Fed into computer The meter reader returns your account meter sheet to the company office, where it is checked to make sure the numbers recorded are legible and complete, and then it is fed into a computer. The computer electronically reads the meter reading on the account meter sheet, compares it with the previous month, subtracts the previous reading from the new reading to determine how many kilowatt hours you have used during the billing period, then it computes and prints your bill. If, however, the amount of kilowatt hours is unusually high or low, compared to previous months, the computer rejects the computation, and your account meter sheet is returned to the meter toho then goes back to your residence and takes & iutjptely new reading. Is meter accessible? If accessible, every meter is read every month. Utah Power no longer estimates bills except when meters are not accessible. Locked gates and intimidating dogs are the most frequent reasons we cannot get to meters. In estimated for more than two conany case, bills are-nosecutive months. But when we have to estimate your bill, it is done by one accounting department, with the help of iata. Meter readers never estimate bills. Same monthly interval Utah Power makes an effort to read your meter at the same monthly interval, keeping the same number of days in each of your billing periods to make it easier t com-puterfi- fc for you to compare power consumption. (On holidays and weekends, meters are not read, so the number of days will vary from time to time.) month-by-mont- h g and billing Every phase of the should double But is checked. you have a procedure question regarding your bill, you can receive a prompt explanation just by calling the Utah Power customer service number found in the white pages of your phone meter-readin- directory.
