I was so thrilled to get
the free a FREE ANALOG OPT OUT from LADWP for the
building - the first of it's kind in LADWP territory -
that I made a little video of the LADWP guy doing the
install!!...
Unfortunately, my little
LADWP bubble that I have been floating in for the passed
couple of days was burst yesterday when I watched THIS
video of another outcome altogether for a different
LADWP customer who also had requested a safe analog
meter for herself and her family.
Anura Lawson and her
entire family had been experiencing health effects from
their newly installed smart meter. But not only did
LADWP refuse to change out their smart meter to a safe
analog meter, they also SHUT HER ELECTRICITY OFF when
she refused to be harmed by their smart meter!!! The
whole family has been living without electricity for 6
weeks!!! Please watch the above video for details on
this disgusting abuse of power by LADWP, whom for a
second there I thought was a righteous and decent
utility provider.
I spoke with our attorney
today regarding this inconsistent behavior from LADWP.
So it seems not only will the Lawson family be able to
be added as a plaintiff and LADWP as defendant (should
they wish to sue), but there also seems to be
an additional liability here of DISCRIMINATION!!! Why
did I get to opt out to free analog and the Lawson
family did not?
IF YOU LIVE IN LADWP
TERRITORY
Right now, LADWP
is in the Test Mode for their smart meter roll out.,
on 52,000 LADWP customers/guinea pigs to see what kind
of response they get from customers. We need to
really raise hell about this!!! If you live in LADWP
and DO NOT wish to be a guinea pig for their "smart
meter test", call them and let them know!!
Here is the LADWP general
phone # to "opt out" of the "smart guinea pig program"
1-800-342-5397
And here is the name and phone # of the senior manager
I spoke with who issued the free analog opt out.
Also, I gave
a
presentation
to one of the condominiums slated to be a part of the
"LADWP smart guinea pig test" and the whole building is
not only opting out but LOCKING UP THEIR ANALOG METERS
which I suggest ALL LADWP customers do right now.
I will be
following up with LADWP and the Lawson family to try and
help them attain a safe analog meter with no fee and would
like to encourage anyone else who suffers the same abuse
from their utility to SUE THEM as lawsuits seem to be the
only thing they respond to.
Please pass
this email on to ANYONE YOU KNOW IN THE LADWP AREA.
If you would
like to become a plaintiff to our lawsuit and live in
Edison territory, please get in touch with me either via
email (just hit return and put PLAINTIFF in the heading or
at the above phone #). We are also accepting plaintiffs
from other parts of CA for when the law suit opens up to
the state after we file.
Sincerely,
Liz Barris
