How dreadful. WE do not even get a choice. This also makes our electric system vulnerable to hacking, something that is not so much of a problem now. Same for the water system. Rogue nations have been using hacking against utility systems both in America and in Europe, as the UK found out last week. Mechanical systems like our current meters are not vulnerable, but computer based systems like "smart meters" are.

In another consumer ripoff, they are using Tyler Tech for billing. Many customers pay with credit cards, something the city does not charge a fee for using. Tyler Tech pops consumers for a substantial fee for using a credit card.

This is terrible for Washington consumers. Why does the current council not drive a stake through the heart of this Frankenstein monster?

Thank you for the link.

Says pay as you go since this will be updated hourly, I have to wonder what the pay to go actually means.

Has the money been spent? Was that part of the big tax increase? Can it be stopped? PK, you are right that citizens should be able to just say NO to these things. Will one of our new council members please bring the issue up?

From the looks of this going back in the Council Agendas, this was put forth in 2023. This is going to be costing the City millions! I wonder if you can opt out of putting one of these smart meters on your house for electric & water? I definitely don't think it's a good idea at all. How is this going to be payed for? Is this going to cause our bill to go up even more to help pay for these smart meters that we don't want or need?!?

Washingtonian: County Commissioners have very little leverage to affect the governing of cities, other than cut off the money, where county taxpayers might subsidize certain programs that The City might offer.

This I have voted to do in the last number of years, when I noticed that the corruption within the City of Washington government was far too pervasive.
