NATION : Hugo Victims to Figure Own Bills
- Share via
From Times Wire Services
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Duke Power Co. customers whose electricity was knocked out by Tropical Storm Hugo were told today to make their own estimates of what they owe.
That decision was made after customers lit up switchboards complaining that their bills didn’t reflect how long the storm left them in the dark. Some said they were blacked out for up to half the billing period.
It will all be straightened out on the next bill when meters are read.
