Large Facility Malfunctioning Main Water Meter. Audit Research found a facility water meter with wrong usage reads over a four-year period. Facility pre-audit had asked for and received a $25,000 refund from the water company and $20,000 refund from the sewer authority prior to the audit. Cleary Energy’s research reviewed six years of history, extrapolated actual use, and negotiated an additional $56,000 in a Water Company refund and $256,000 in sewer authority refund including both the meter errors and duplicate billings. While this is not typical, the facility saved over $300K retroactively.
