Have you measured it? Switch off everything in your house, and
use
all
your LED lighting at once. Add up what they should be using,
and
see
what the meter thinks. There have been reports LED lighting is
measured
at up to 5 times what it really is.
It is the same power as it was before, with the mechanical
meter, or
less.
Maybe they fixed it after the big farce. And of course there\'s
still
this:
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/smart-meter-warning-thousands-customers-28458788
Maybe there never was such a problem in Spain. We did things right
from
the start.
There was never any need for smart meters. What a waste
(economically
and environmentally) making all that new equipment.
Obviously the people that held the purses did not think like you,
thus
you are mistaken.
That\'s not why they made them. It\'s environmental bullshit to
encourage
us to use less power. How ridiculous, we use what we want or need to,
until the bill is too high, then we use less. Seeing it in
realtime is
pointless.
It doesn\'t matter if you see it in realtime or not.
Here, the price per hour can be different, and one day to the next too.
That needs a smart meter that can meter that.
If you hate the idea, it is irrelevant.
If you somehow have an electromechanical meter, they will charge you
the
highest price per hour of the month. No problem.
Then you live in an uncivilized country which doesn\'t have enough power
at peak times.
But we do. No blackouts, brownouts, rotating blackouts, downfrequency,
whatever.
If there was enough power they wouldn\'t have to overcharge you at
certain times of day. You\'re spreading their load for them at your
expense/hassle.
We have triple generating capacity than peak use ever.
Then what excuse do they have for charging you more at peak time?
the generating capacity to cover peaks are expensive gasturbines etc. that only get fired up when needed
You can also look at it not as peak price being more, but as valley
price being less.
Must be such a pest having to plan your usage throughout the day. Now if you had enough of the cheap sources....

Anyway, my meter is read about once every 5 years.
Water used to be unmetered at our cabin, but then they installed smart
meters. I got an email from TDPUD that they suspected a leak, based on
the usage pattern. They sent me graphs and we saw a constant low-level
flow when nobody was there. It was a leaking shutoff+drain valve.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lnq4lzds3ku5nko/Truckee_Leak.jpg?raw=1
The big plateau was the leak.
Realtime metering catches stuff like that.
Leaking water I don\'t care about, it\'s free, if it\'s big enough I see
water.
Not free here,
What an absurd place to choose to live.
I did not choose.
It derives from simply having little water in the country.
and sometimes you do not see it.
If you do not see it then it isn\'t very big.
Think that way, and you will not care about paying double the normal
bill in water.
If you can\'t notice a leak the size of your water consumption, you need your eyes tested.

The UK offers unmetered service for circa UKP30-40/month. That\'s rare

We have plenty of water from the Great Lakes.

We have plenty of water from the Great Lakes. My water is metered
anyway. We pay for what we use; we\'re not communists.
If something is plentiful, there\'s no need to meter it.
Manufacture of
potable water costs money to treat the incoming water and outgoing
sewage. Like any other manufacturing cost, it\'s passed along to the
consumer.
It\'s so little it\'s cheaper not to meter it. As I said in another post, in the UK it would cost me more if I elected to have a meter.

IIRC, there was also a problem at the treatment plant, that made the
lead pipe problem worse.
\"two former emergency managers in Flint, Mich., were criminally charged
Tuesday with multiple felonies for their role in the cityâs water
crisis. The charges are the most significant so far in the stateâs
ongoing investigation into Flintâs lead-tainted water.
On Tuesday, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette charged Darnell
Earley and Gerald Ambrose with false pretenses for allowing the cityâs
water treatment plant to operate even though it was not ready to
properly treat the water from the Flint River, which resulted in
lead-contaminated water being piped into residentsâ homes. They are also
accused of misusing funds in connection with the now-disgraced plan to
use Flint River as a source of drinking water while building a new
pipeline to Lake Huron. Earley and Ambrose allegedly lied to Michigan
Treasury Department officials about millions of dollars they spent on
the new pipeline, saying the money was for a separate environmental
clean-up project, the attorney general said.
The former officials, who are also charged with misconduct in office,
face maximum sentences of 46 years in prison. In a news conference
Tuesday, Schuette said that the charges âreach a higher level of
responsibilityâ than previous ones involving the cityâs ongoing water
crisis.\"

They changed the pH of the water, which stripped the hardwater scale
off the lead pipes and leached the lead into the water. The pH was
historically on the high side -and the lead levels were in the safe
range due to thelime or calcium deposits sealing the pipes. Whenthe pH
was lowered all that coaitng disolved - and lead got into the water

The problem is the lead, not the pH.
