I would like to know if they still have meter readers who comes to read your meters?? I moved in to my rented property not long ago and i have the clock type meter reader. i alway have trouble reading those and i did apply for the digital meter but when they came out they said that cause of the location of the meter reader they can't replace it and would cost about $1000 to relocate the meter box. I normally pay monthly but like i said i alway have trouble reading the clock type meters.
