Ours was $123 ($10 less than last month) and $45 of that was fees and taxes, so a little over a third of our bill.

Ok, question - why would the meter be so far off? And how could they correct it to a "true" value?

Doesn't the bill show a kilowatt usage?

It does. It'll have to do the numbers and take a look at last month's bill. We did use more kilowatts, but not double the amount. The bill doubled.

Was it an actual reading last month or an estimate?

I'll have to go look at the bill.

A while back, I learned how to read an analog meter.
Start with the dial to the far right and read from right to left.
If the dial is between numbers, you go to the next higher number. YW
