Here in Bloomington,MN we have a gas meter with a battery that is replaced about every 10 years. It sends a signal to a street light pole that has a box attached to a Yagi antenna. I suspect the box then sends a signal out to a central location. Our water meter is connected to a read-out on the house exterior and they walk around to obtain a reading every several months. The power meter is read through the power line(s). This also applies to my northern MN cabin power meter-they call it a 'turtle meter', as it takes 24 hours to get a reading in the Duluth, MN area. With all that, I've never had a noise problem with any of them. In a message dated 9/21/2010 5:18:51 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
