COME TO THE MEETING ON WEDNESDAY AT 10 AM!
Details on the WSSC MEETING: At this meeting WSSC staff will brief the commissioners on the AMI smart meter project and the options for different opt out policies: opt out for a fee, opt out for no fee, and no opt out.
The staff presentation is slanted against allowing opt out.
What staff neglects to mention is that opt out (for a fee) is the state policy in Maryland for all of the electric utilities' established AMI smart meter programs (Delmarva, Pepco, BGE & SMECO) as approved by the PSC.
DEMAND a no fee opt out!
Everyone should have a choice as to what type of utility meter they want on their home and they should not have to pay to not get what they don't want!
Staff has a page 13 showing that none of the water utilities in the region allow smart meter opt outs. But it is misleading because it includes utilities like Fairfax, Rockville, Bowie and Howard County that use AMR drive-by meters - NOT AMI smart meters that emit RF radiation constantly.
WSSC wants to put in water meters that radiate non stop.
The less-costly AMR drive-by meter system lacks the privacy and health concerns of AMI meters. Rather than sending data constantly to the utility, their transmitter is normally dormant until briefly woken up each month or each quarter when the meter reader drives by with the equipment that collects the reading.
It is important to note that WSSC already has a self-read program for many meters that are located inside. This program could easily be included in an opt out scenario without creating something new.
Want information on "smart meters?
