Entire Streets are Delaying Smart Meter Installations
|
Dear Smart Meter Awareness:
The UPA guys came by my street today - I told them our whole street had called in and delayed install - BUT - just so you know - some people called in yesterday - and he still had tags to change them out anyway - probably the tags were printed before their calls were processed, so if I hadn't been there to stop him - he wouldve installed them.
You should urge people to PUT a sign on their meter - Even if they a delayed install appt. because that is a false sense of security.
The man was decent - not threatening - he is knocking on everyone's door. If you're home and you say you don't want it - he gently tries to persuade (he is handing out fliers) and then will leave without threatening.
If he knocks and you don't answer - he will replace your meter UNLESS you have a note on it DO NOT INSTALL. He said they are respecting people's choice so put a DO NOT sign up - at least now. So for people that work - the DO NOT sign is imperative.
I saw a few tags around the neighborhood from people that told me they called for a delayed install. They have their bright green tag left on their door and a new meter installed.
Keep up the Great Work!

Steps to take:
1. Call United Partners of America (UPA), the city's contracted installers, at (877) 423-3194. Say you want to be installed last. Get date and time. Get name of person speaking to. (This will put you later in the install period.)
Do NOT agree to "work around" meter unless you are willing to accept one and pay the punitive costs.
2. Post Do Not Install Notice: Post this sign next to your doorbell or on your front door. Give some to your neighbors to post.
3. Send the utility a Notice of No Consent: Click here. This document contains instructions with the letter to fill out and sign, then send via certified mail.
4. Apply a "DO NOT INSTALL SMART METER" sticker on your electrical box. Mail a $4 donation check along with your address made to Naperville Smart Meter Awareness 1427 Westglen Dr. Naperville IL 60565
and one will be mailed to you, or call (630) 579-0659 to arrange purchase.
Be educated, empowered and moved to action!
