Found a $15 error in my water bill and it turned into a $200 refund

I was sitting at my kitchen table last Tuesday going through old bills and noticed my water usage jumped to 8,000 gallons one month when I was on vacation. Called the city utility office and turns out they had a meter reading glitch that had been overcharging me for 4 months. They adjusted the billing and cut me a check for $212. Has anyone else found random billing errors that paid off just by checking your statements?

That $15 turning into $212 is nuts, good for you. I found a similar error with my internet provider, they were charging me for a router I returned three months earlier. Got a $180 credit after threatening to switch.

Honestly I used to think threatening to leave was just bluffing but nah it actually works.
