Some City Water Light and Power workers may have been getting electricity at their homes at a greatly reduced price, because of altered meters installed at their homes.
The State Journal-Register reports that CWLP discovered at least six residential meters had been altered years ago to run at half-speed, so that a meter reader would think only half as much electricity had actually been used.
The meters were on properties owned or formerly owned by past CWLP employees.
Two of the former workers are deceased, the other two have paid thousands of dollars to settle the underpaid bills.
