Smart meters

Project completed!

We successfully finished upgrading our customers to smart meters in 2025.

What makes the meters smarter?

The upgraded meters allow two-way communication between your home or business and our systems.

A person in a high-visibility vest and protective helmet with a face shield is replacing the utilities meter on the side of a home.

Protecting your privacy

Communication between our network and your home or business is conducted over a secure wireless network. It uses the same extremely low-frequency radio signals as your smartphone, radio and TV.

Smart meters do not collect, store or transmit any personal information. Like your current meter, only your utility use information is collected.
