Lax poco

[ICE]

Is the meter reader waiting for it to fall over? There have been several occasions when I have called the poco to alert them of a problem. Each time I have asked why the meter reader hasn't brought the problem to the bosses attention. Each time I have been told that the meter readers aren't trained to spot problems. I pushed on this with my non-contact tester and almost knocked it over. I bet that when it finally falls over, the reader will turn it over to read the meter and not say an word to anyone.

Here is another example.

People who report a lot of problems are often perceived as "Boat Rockers"!

Is that a Cali seismic design to allow movement without shearing during "the big one"?

Does POCO have smart meter like PGE?

IPMC, emergency measures, send a notice, 10 days later request in writing the purveyor remove the service.

Does POCO have smart meter like PGE?

The POCO has just begun installing them. A coworker has refused to allow the POCO to switch his meter to a smart meter and he claims that his neighbors have all experienced a rise in their electric bill. He says that some have gone up 40% and Edison says that's because the old meters were worn out and giving away power. Sounds fishy to me. Hard to believe 40% and even harder to believe that Edison was giving away power.
