I did not want the smart meters installed - it was supposed to be a choice.
I was out in the yard one afternoon and noticed that my electric meter, which is attached to the home, looked different. It was new; a smart meter. I asked my husband that night why in the world did he let them in the backyard? He hadn't.
The Electric Company (or whomever) had obviously scaled our 7 foot, LOCKED fence, pacified the two dogs somehow, and installed that f'n meter!
I was livid.
But, nothing I can do - no one will own up to having done it.
I'm pretty sure the water meter was replaced as well, but I haven't looked.
