Receiving multiple MLGW bills? You don’t have to pay immediately
Many Memphis Light, Gas and Water customers have received multiple bills in a short period of time due to faulty smart meters. President and CEO Doug McGowen compares the issue to a car’s odometer. The car still works even if the odometer breaks, but it can’t log the miles. (Courtesy MLGW)
Defective smart meters are blamed for the billing problem.
