So I have been getting harrassed by ATCO to get my meter relocated outside. The meter has been in my basement in the utility room for going on 50 years, but all of the sudden it is a safety hazard and must be moved outside immediately
. They came 2 years ago and insalled a dongle so they could read my meter without coming in the house.
I really don't want my meter outside. Where ever they put it outside it will eat up valuable deck space.
It's projects like these that are the reason we pay more in fees than we do for electricity or gas. They apply to the regulator to execute these Iminent Threat projects in the name of safety, but in reality when they complete these projects they bill the cost directly back to the consumers in the form of distribution charges plus some finance charges.
Basically like if I force loaned you money to buy a new truck and made you pay me back the cost of the loan plus 10%.
Anyone have any suggestions for how I can tell ATCO to pound sand. They have threatened to turn off the gas if I don't give them access to my house to move the meter.
