Seriously, how can B.C. Hydro justify their costs relating to retaining the analogue meter? This letter is in response to recent undated correspondence from B.C. Hydro.
Hydro offers a $35 monthly fee for opting to read my analogue meter, which translates to $420 a year, or I can choose a radio off meter for a setup fee of $100 and $20 a month, which would mean $340.
I must commend Hydro for giving me the opportunity to save $80. I intend to partake in one of the above alternatives, but at these exorbitant costs I would expect Christie Clark to arrive personally to read my meter. In the event she is not available, the Hydro chief executive officer would be welcomed. I might even invite either one of them for tea and crumpets.
