ALERT! NEW LETTER OF NON-CONSENT for SMART METER
Refusal Letter to send ASAP to Hydro (Corix) re Smart Meter Installation - with instructions
IMPORTANT: Highly time sensitive!
If you have received a "no choice" letter from BC Hydro, attached is the newest copy of a Final Refusal Notice you can send immediately. It replaces the older letter that was posted here in 2012, prior to Hydro's most recent announcements (January, 2013).
Choice has been granted in other places, and choice is within Hydro's ability, and responsibility, to provide. As BC citizens, with or without a smart meter in place, we have until the end of this year (2013) to make this clear.
It is not guaranteed that B.C. Hydro will not install, but it eliminates the "implied consent" argument that they are again using to justify the installation of the meters without notification or permission.
It is recommended that you keep copies for your files.
Again, this letter format for REFUSAL NOTICE For BC HYDRO's PROVINCE-WIDE LETTER
can be accessed, downloaded, cut and pasted into your own e-mail. It is easily accessible from CST's SMART METER ACTION KIT.
