The biggest joke of all this = people are so ill-informed & dumb-ed down, that they have no idea that is actually illegal for a utility company to come on your property & change your meter, with-out your consent, or notifying you (requesting consent).
That is trespass, & is in contravention of US law!!
Yet these fuckers are doing it any-way. You can take them to court & get them to remove it, but that costs YOU, better to not let them get on your property & do it in the 1'st place. Get a copy of the law that deals with this issue, print it, laminate it & put it by your meter, they will not come on your property again.
