how legal is it for the gas company to charge me for no service or product?

i recently tried to have the gas turned on at my home but the man said he couldnt since he detected a leak in the line that had to be repaired. i told my landlord and after a month he had a plumber come out and declared it fixed. the gas man came out and said it still leaks so it is still off.
in the mean time i recieved a bill for 82 bucks (i asked for this percentage of income monthly payment), i called the gas company and they say another such bill is on the way dispite the gas never being on. they said this is their policy since the account is "active", i asked what was active about it besides the billing and was hung up on.
do i have to pay for no service or product?
 
they can bill you, doesn't mean you have to pay it.
