• Vacaville, California, resident Ken Wilson is VERY careful about his consumption of electricity.
"I was being very vigilant on this," he told KMAX-TV. "Every day that I go to work, I turn the breakers off."
He also purchased a device that tells him how many watts of energy his appliances use. But recently he noticed that his bill was higher than normal.
Wilson has lived in an apartment, unit 91 of his building, for 18 years.
After Wilson called PG&E to come out and check his meter, he discovered he's been paying for unit 90's electricity usage for years.
PG&E admitted the mix-up and said it is "fully committed to rectifying the situation."
Wilson said he hopes the story can help others with similar problems. [KMAX, 9/16/2024]
