Subject: Meter readers ...

Once upon a time ago, my grandmother had to supply a back door key to Hydro so they could read the meter that was in the basement of the house.

There was a serious issue as regards privacy there and I don't recall if she complained about it or whether they did it on their own, but the meter was physically removed and put outside the house.

Yeah, they still have to go on her property, but there's no longer a possibility of theft (petty or otherwise) when someone isn't home or any issues of invasion of privacy from someone being home and being interrupted without warning by an arsehole with a clipboard and a key and a claim of just doing his job.

Personally, if I had a meter in the basement and I was being ordered to supply a key to my home, I would be telling them to move the damn thing or where to shove that clipboard if they didn't plan to move it.
