jul2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I just got an email from Alinta energy asking me to pay my gas bill. It's for $126. Now in 6 weeks since I've been at the rental I've had ONE bath to save on gas. Other than that I've used hot water to wash a few clothes in a bucket a couple of times and to wash a few plates. So why is my bill so high? Could I have a gas leak which could explain the high bill? I did notice when I moved in there was a gas smell coming from outside.

Cerberus1 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 If it's a new account was there an account establishment fee? or maybe a special meter reading fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jul2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) There was some kind of fee I think around $40 but even so it still seems very high considering I've used very little. It would still come to $88. I've been told some people shower once a day over here. The gas bills must run into the thousands each month.

Is this a real poster, or a troll? I am beginning to wonder by some of your other posts. In answer to your question, it sounds like it covers an establishment fee. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jul2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 This is Australia. Back in the UK I lived in the north of England. Washing every 6 months is common there as it's cold. So yes once in 6 weeks here as it's considerably warmer. And I need to keep costs down but I had no idea gas would be so dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you had a bath on one day (who uses a bath?), and a shower every day hopefully.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parley Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Even for a pom bathing only once every 6 weeks doesn't ring true to me. He must really stink by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
