My name is <name>,
and I live in <city>,<state>. I am writing to you because
I would like to have the SmartMeter removed from my home immediately
<or refuse to have a SmartMeter installed on my home>.
I was not asked permission prior to the SmartMeter
device being installed on my home. My family was never consulted
about the program, or even notified in advance of installation.
I hereby demand that <no SmartMeter device be installed /the
SmartMeter device be removed from the premises>.
Since the installation, I have had <list symptoms>.
I now understand that there are health concerns related to the wireless
network that the SmartMeters use, and I do not want this device
on my home or in my neighborhood. My old analog meter worked just
fine, and I do not want to risk the health of my family with this
SmartMeter.
I have called my utility company, <utility company
name>, multiple times about getting the SmartMeter removed, and
they have told me they will not remove it. They told me there would
be an opt out option in the future, but it could take many months
or a year to finalize the opt out program. I do not feel it is fair
that I am required to wait up to a year to have my SmartMeter removed
when I did not want the SmartMeter on my home in the first place.
I am also concerned that the SmartMeter may be causing sleep problems
and other health issues for myself and my family. I do not want
to wait months to remove this SmartMeter. I would like it removed
now!
Can somebody please help me? It is very frustrating
that nobody seems to be able to help.
