U sure not because due to MCO, u stay at home more and longer period of time, therefore more water usage?

If u suspect water leakage, u off all your pipe at home, see the water meter still jalan or not. If jalan, conlanfirm got leakage somewhere

My mom's small apartment syabas bill charged up to RM20,000. I kid you not! It was 20 GRAND! I called and emailed to Syabas. Everything back to normal after that.

Yes, it's estimated reading. THey based on average over 12 months.

I imagine there will be lots of problem when they adjust.

Wait next month bill first. If the bill still so high then need to check for leaking.

my usual bill RM40.00-60.00, suddenly shot up to RM570.00!

Bill meter reading listed
Past (6/3/2020)- 4263
New (7/4/2020)- 4570 (increase of 307 over 1 month)

but house meter reading (6/5/2020)- 4345 over >1 months (increase of 82)
*above all documented with pictures in case air selangor want evidence

Called up Air Selangor, they said is estimated water usage for my house and they billed me.
Told me they will take physical reading after MCO.

I suggest people to read their meter.
Their practices of "estimation" and then billing you is so puke.gif
Gave me sudden shock like WTF where is the pipe leak all over the house

Hell no!

they think MCO time people plenty of cash under pillow can pay bills bersuka hati
everyone struggling and they take the opportunity rip people (趁火打劫/chèn huǒ dǎ jié/loot a burning house)

If people dah pay and realised meter over-read, i doubt they will return money,
they will surely say, excess amount will be credited into your account, aka let them keep money, they win.

you can try lodge complain by calling them
2 english>2 report water meter reading>1 sure confirm no leaking>enter account number>
>1 lodge complain for meter reading - you have successfully lodged, push you back to main menu
>2 talk to Customer service - directly hang up phone

I had to select inquire of new services and the customer service lady pretend tak tau they set auto hang up phone during report
then they only admit meter is estimated from their side, then they bill based on that estimate.
How they estimate? god knows how.

Damm! I'm gonna have to check my bills this month.

My average water usage/bills is around RM8 to RM15/mth.

This is worrying.
