Day 344 – Separate Utilities
An odd title for a gratitude blog, no? Well, today I’m grateful that my electricity
and gas are supplied by different companies, because the city’s gas and water
department decided to cut off my service.
I did my part to inform them of my taking over responsibility, but it
turns out my landlord was supposed to contact them, too, to confirm that
service should be taken out of his name.
And guess who didn’t do his part…?
That’s right. I found out that if
I send them a copy of my lease, I could avoid having to count on the landlord
(something I never knew until now).
The good news is that Southern California Edison didn’t need
the same kind of confirmation and my electricity was still on, so my food wasn’t
spoiling and I could at least use the microwave oven. And the toaster, the food processor, and any
of the other small appliances.
The gas will be turned on in a couple days. Oh well… roll with it….
