I just took my own meter reading so I can make sure that I'm not being completely screwed at the end of the year! Take a photo then you have proof next year when you get someone else's bill.
The memo apparently applies to all EK staff in villas, yet i have asked a doctor and it does not apply to them. Also does not apply to VP's in the same villas, so I guess they are not EK staff. Presumably local pilots in company villas will also be exempt as they have the local discounts.
I was under the impression that due to the fact our landlords were local, EK only paid the discounted rate ie 75% discount on the utilities. Can this be confirmed by anyone?
I guess the delay in getting our bills is due to recalculating what we would have paid.
I'm sure that EK have now told DEWA that there are now expats living in these villas so the charges will be increased to the expat level, and we will be charged above what EK are paying. Instead of them getting the local bill, recalculating, and then charging us for something they never paid!!
Might be completely wrong!!!
who knows in this wonderful land
