Getting ‘Corix’d’
There’s a new expression in British Columbia.
Getting ‘Corix’d’
It (Corix) is a large conglomerate which “helps build and manage utility infrastructures in North America,” it boasts.
It’s also under contract for the likes of BC Hydro and “Starting in summer 2011 Corix Utilities will begin installing 1.8 million smart meters for BC Hydro’s Smart Metering Project in several communities throughout BC, with completion targeted for December 2012,”it states.
The trouble is, it does this without asking householders’ permissions and in the face of increasingly strident objections from people who believe the meters constitute dangerous health hazards because of radiation they emit.
Employees can also go ahead with the installations whether you’re at home or not, and whether you like it or not.
But,”People need to know BC Hydro has no mandate for wireless smart meters under the Clean Energy Act, that they have the right to refuse a radiofrequency transmitter on their home under federal law, that they have the right to demand a certified electrician do any work on their home so as not to void their home insurance, that BC Hydro has stated in the papers those who don’t want a smart meter for now won’t get one.” , says one of those who’ s resisting installations, continuing:
“The posting of the ‘No Trespassing sign’, with signature and address and date appears to be working in many cases, although not all,” adding, “At present, it is all about implied consent – if you don’t say No, then it is assumed you have consented to this new device. You can ask to see your contract with BC Hydro, which requires your signature showing agreement to the change of service from a meter to a computer, transmitter, surveillance device.”

i have just learned that SCE slapped one of these on our house without our knowledge and without either of the promised “notifications” that they say will accompany this installation on their website info link concerning these devices. According to that, we should have received both a notice in the mail several weeks prior to installation and a door tag notice once it was actually installed. Neither of these was delivered, but I had a sinking feeling when what I read about what the installers would be wearing and what sort of trucks they would be driving triggered a memory of seeing some unfamiliar work vehicles on our street some time back. I called the company to “opt out” of the installation pending the results of whatever hearing is currently in the works only to learn that we already had been converted to the new meter back in June.
I am not pleased.
I have no idea whether it will be effective or not, but I plan on encasing the thing in foil and at least electing not to have that damn thing phoning home every two minutes…
