SAN ANTONIO-New 4 is getting answers for nearly 30 viewers who emailed us about high CPS Energy bills. 

Many of them wanted to know about how an estimated reading is calculated.  We spoke to CPS Energy Spokesperson Christine Patmon who told us the reading is based on a homeowners previous month or two months.

"When we estimate a reader; we always go for a lower read.  We always go for a lower read that was actually there to make sure we don't give a customer a higher bill."  Said Patmon.

CPS Energy also admits they are replacing old meters with new meters around San Antonio and ask if you have questions about your meter reading call them.

"If they believe that their bill is wrong by all means give us a call." Said Patmon.

CPS Energy wants you to call them at 353-2222.  You also have the option of having someone come out to your home to make sure your meter is properly working.

If you can't pay your bill; they ask you apply for the REAP Program.

Well...these are sad times, when the trustees can not be trusted. The coyote protecting the chickens. Ethical behavior goes to the trash can when greed and dishonesty prevail. Who can we complaint to in order to correct these abuses? Nobody. They will do as they please because we, the ones paying their lavish lifestyles, are too weak, too dumb or too tired to come up with an organized protest in front of CPS. They will try to poke our eyes always, and if somebody complains, then, and only then, they give a refund. Little by little this non-profit institution comes up with a huge profit that is not used to better the service, but is given to the other non-trusted trustees: The City Council. If this happens in the "most advanced" country in the world, can you imagine how it goes in less developed countries?

I had the same problem with SAWS a few years ago. I got a $200+ bill from them with my normal bill being $30. They came out an replaced the meter but told me the old one was working. They inspected my house and yard and found no leaks and it was obvious I didn't have a swimming pool and my yard did not look like it had been flooded. It would have to have been flooded to use the amount of water they claimed. But even after all of that I still had to pay the bill. That's what you get when there is a monopoly on services. Fortunately my electric/gas bill has been normal. I don't want one of their "new" meters. I don't trust them at all.
