1) Here is a video showing how a smeter is made. It could be any meter, but this one is an ITRON. Notice the plastic material, and the things that are tested – nothing re safety, only accuracy. Interestingly there is no mention of the lithium battery that these meters contain. The explosive lithium … Continue reading 2015-01-01 Hydro continues to harass even during the holidays →

1) Attached is information from the recent Arizona hearing about fires in Elser smeters. Note the familiar policy statements that were given, that the fault is with the homeowner’s meter base or home wiring.

1) Attached is a letter a member received from the Auditor General in response to his letter asking for a full and complete audit like that done by the Ontario AG.

1) Adrian Dix has written a letter to Bill Bennett about the legacy fees that are being charged, pointing out that our fees are substantially higher than other places, and in fact punitive. We should applaud this action, the strongest statement by any politician about the unfair treatment “legacy” customers are receiving. His letter is … Continue reading 2014-12-18 An early Christmas gift from Adrian Dix →
1) Mr. Dix’s recent first step in identifying the fee issue is just that – a first step.
