Electric Meter Replacement Program

At a glance

• What: the Town's replacement of electric meters across its electric utility.
• Where it stands: on May 28, 2026 Town Manager Vosburg reported about 18,500 meters replaced and about 13,000 remaining.
• Next: continued replacement; no completion date is recorded.

At the May 26 budget town hall, Caffero asked how the Town acquired its electric utility, raised concerns about electric bills doubling and tripling after rate increases, asked how much was budgeted or spent on smart meter implementation, and raised public-health concerns about the technology. The summary minutes say Councilmembers responded but do not record the answers.
