To the Editor,
Re: Safety of meters far from certain, Letters, Jan. 26.
I read this letter and couldn’t help but shake my head.
A close friend of mine works for Corix Utilities and is directly involved with the installation of the smart meters in the Nanaimo area.
Does the writer not see the necessity for requiring special gloves when being within inches of exposed live 220-volt lines with bare hands?
Would he not be concerned that a contact spark that close to the eye could cause significant and permanent damage?
The answer should be yes to both.
There are some legitimate concerns regarding smart meters, but this is most definitely not one of them.
