Smart meter installation in Upper Saddle River and the surrounding areas is well on its way. A glance at houses in the area show most homes have them in some neighborhoods.
If you were going to opt out it is late, but if you have a meter installed you can get it removed.
If you aren’t sure whether you really wanted one or what it’s all about there are numerous internet sites with the information to help you decide. Or just click on the tag smart meter here and you will find a range of posts with relevant information.
If you are looking for a primer on what some of the issues are there is excellent presentation by Chris Maurer, a member of Citizens For A Better Upper Saddle River Facebook group, that was given to Town of Chester, New York Council meeting (clearly a interested and engaged council) that helps to demystify and clarify the concerns. If you aren’t really sure about smart meters this should help.
