did i use that much?



i got a shock when i received my water bill. it stated that for the period of 1/5 - 30/6, i've used 45 cubic metres of water. this is not possible since i'm staying alone. according to this bill, i would be using 22.5 cubic per month whereas i was in the house for about 3 weeks only each month. the 22.5 cubic would even exceed my bi-monthly usage of 11 cubic. i never exceed the minimum charge which is rm5 per month unless i have people coming over. this is absurd.

so i decided to check the water meter and true enough, it only reads 821, an excess of 35 cubics!

i thought of making a complain to the management. however when i did a calculation, i think it is better for me to not make a fuss. eventually they would discover they made a mistake and i would pretend i didn't notice the over billed. hahahh.. i would say that i never exceed the minumum charge and therefore they would bill me the minimum charge of 6 cubic metres. they have to because it is uncertain if i use more or less. according to my previous bills, my average monthly usage is 5.5 cubic metres and this means i would save on 0.5 cubic metre! seems like i'm a very calculative person! but it's their fault for not checking the metre reading carefully! HAHAHAH!!!
