CEB introduces e-billing system to more consumers

I have a suggestion. CEB can arrange for the consumer to read the meter and send it to CEB, by SMS, email or in an app. Then the computed bill can be paid by the consumer. CEB can make periodic verifications to see consumers are not cheating. This way they can cut down the meter readers to about a sixth of the present strength.

LECO has already implemented this and it works wonderfully. Such a hassle free system. Meter readers discourage this totally saying that nobody will take responsibility if bills are not sent on time! Don't listen to them! It's not true. The bill comes right on time on the 1st of every month and you can pay instantly. Wonder when the Water Board will introduce this system? At the moment their e-billing means, once the meter reader physically issues the bill, after a day or two, he sends it in a SMS to your phone. That's not e-billing! That's double work, probably involves payment of overtime too!

Great work guys. Please use the digital meters to auto read the meters too. Also aks consumers to send the meter reading. Do random checks time to time. Make sure at least once a year a hole hold get visited. Anyone who is willing to cheat are the ones who wants corrupt politians too. People need to be good to find good politians.
