Just an update

Not being one to let something like this go, I dropped a note to the power company to try and make sure they actually tested the meter and let me know the results then called my contact at the government office.  A little later I got an email from the power company assuring me that the meter would be tested and the results forwarded.  Of course there will always be a nagging doubt about their response since they took the meter away, but what can you do?
