Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) mistakenly sent a customer a $30,000 utility bill due to ongoing meter issues, but later admitted the actual bill was around $1,100. The customer was shocked and frustrated by the response from MLGW's customer service, who initially insisted the bill was correct.
