EZ Pass had the wrong transponder associated with an in-laws account. They didn’t find out till after he died he was apparently still racking up tolls. Driving around to vote in different elections I guess.
Geocoding doesn’t work for a big bank of meters serving an apartment complex. Geocoding is not accurate to inches.
At 38 degrees North latitude at Stockton CA:
* One second of latitude equals 101 feet.
* One second of longitude equals 80 feet.
I would say that 30% interest should be charged to PG and E since inflation has done a number on purchasing power in recent years. Simply refunding the money is not enough.
Many years ago, a friend of mine bought a small manufacturing company in south Houston. He discovered that the facility was not on city water, but had it’s own deep water well. The City Of Houston had been charging them for commercial water for over 25 years. I was there when he called the city to come out and show him where the water meter was located. It was a Kodak moment. The city ended up paying him over $250,000 in damages.
I got this beat. I used to work for the power company in my town. There is a community college here. They built a football stadium. One year they put up 4 large stadium light poles with 4 banks of lights.
About 7-8 years later, while doing some upgrades and normal maintenance, my power company discovered that the stadium lights had not been connected to any meter. Free electricity for all nighttime athletic events! For years and years!
I believe the community college district settled for an undisclosed sum.
