Halton Hills Hydro customers not affected by smart meter recall

Halton Hills Hydro has never used the type of smart meter that the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) has directed local utilities to stop using.
The smart meters installed by Halton Hills Hydro are manufactured by Elster Metering. There have been more than 8 million of these meters installed worldwide over the past 10 years with no known safety incidents.

The Electrical Safety Authority directed Ontario’s electrical utilities (local distribution companies) to replace and discontinue use of the Sensus 3.2 with remote disconnect. There are only 5,400 of these meters reported in use in Ontario which is less than one per cent of the 4.8 million meters in Ontario.
