Last week Chris Davis called the electric company, believing the wireless meter installed on his five-acre property was setting off the shock collars of his dogs if they got too close. Minnie and Katie’s Davis’s two dogs wear electric collars so they can roam the Davis’s property to give the dogs room to roam but to also keep them from running off into the street or running away. The system worked flawlessly allowing the dogs free reign over the 5 acres until the new SmartMeter was installed by the electric company last month.
At first Canadian Electric Company Hydro told him he was lying and flat our refused to investigate the matter further. But Davis was not going to allow that to happen as it was not allowing his dogs to play on the property because of the possibility of being shocked. He wrote to the Citizen and his plea for help was finally acknowledge though the electric company then claimed that the electric collars do not run on the same frequency as the electric meter and therefore were not the issue. He persisted and the electric company finally came out and did find that some component of the new system they had installed was emitting a signal it should not be. They tried to fix it but as of Monday the issue had not been resolved and Minnie and Katie still could not run and play on the 5 acre property. It should be upsetting to the electric company that their system is emitting this signal potentially at every house they installed this new SmartMeter at and even if this is very low electricity output in more densely packed communities this could cause untold health issues including the possibility of interfering with heart monitors and other devices meant to help people in medical situations.
According to the power company SmartMeters are a measurement device and do not carry a charge so they cannot create an electrical field any more than old mechanical meters can. if this is the case then the manufacturer of the device messed up, didn’t tell the truth or the electric company is lying so that they do not have to replace all the meters or at least go and check on them.
thanks for the warning I have a medical implant so it is important that I do not get interference or I could be shocked or overdosed on a continuous medication that is administered through an implanted pump. We do not have smart meters in this area yet but I will have to watch for them.
