No, they didn't tell me that, but they DID call to tell me they were installing a "Smart Meter" to replace the meter I currently have, and if I want more info, go to their web site. I did, and here's the "advantages" they have listed.

We will no longer have to come to your home to read your meter. We will be able to do it remotely.

That means we'll have fewer trucks on the road, thus reducing polution.

We'll be able to fix power outages quicker.


I like the reduced polution idea, but if they no longer have to have meter readers, how many people are they going to lay off?????

I also wonder what else will change that I'm not aware of???
