PG&E Mix-up Causes Grief

This past Wednesday, in the middle of an irrigation cycle, I turned around and noticed that the sprinklers were no longer running.  This led to instant panic, as I ran back and forth between the well and the meter searching for the cause.  I’ve been up on my utility bills, so I had no reason to suspect a shut-off, but after a prompt service visit from Don Watson of Abbey Water Well, this was the conclusion.

I called PG&E that evening, and it turns out that when I switched the service to my name, the paperwork wasn’t done right.  They were supposed to end service to my neighbor and simultaneously begin service to me, but the second part didn’t happen.  So ...I missed a couple watering cycles, but all’s well that ends well (no pun intended), and now I’m just trying to catch up on the watering schedule.
