"We the undersigned customers of EPUD, having been recently informed that we would have Smart Meters placed on our homes, do not want Smart Meters on our homes for many reasons such as health risks, privacy concerns and fire hazards. We are asking the Board of Directors to provide an OPT OUT option where customers are free to choose what meter is placed on their home. EPUD is to secure our permission before placing any meter on our property. Many of us have found that the meters placed on our property in 2007 are in fact smart meters (just an earlier variety) and for those that do not want these, they should be removed and replaced with analog meters. We were not given timely notice to prepare for this so please address this issue promptly. Failure to address our issues will result in further action from your customers.



To be presented to Board of Directors at July 24 meeting.

I will not accept a smart meter for health reasons (verified MCS and EMS) . I am willing to purchase an analog meter and to provide accurate monthly readings at no cost to EPUD, and to reimburse EPUD for a yearly meter reading by an EPUD employee.

I would like to see the utility company address the dangers and put safety measures in place before installing newer smart meters. Don't mind the concept of the smart meter but mind a lot of having a meter that creates health concerns on my house wall on the other side of a bedroom. Be a responsive board to the owners of this utility and stop forcing what you want on customer owners without communication and approval from those customer owners. You represent US - you are not the boss of us.

I have a cousin who has severe seizure when exposed to such frequencies as are used in smart meters. I used to think this was her craziness until I saw what happens to her. This is a serious issue and customers need the option to opt out.

No Smart meters. What is smart about them. They only run faster! We spent last fall/winter freezing.

Health and safety. But mostly, representation from our elected EPUD (supposed) rep here in Pleasant Hill District, instead of covert imposition of his personal will upon the rest of us, his constituency. 'Taxing' us without our consent is consistent with tyranny. Just sayin'

We can’t afford your 3 tier program and we cannot not afford to turn down the thermostat any more during the winter
