I seem to remember that after all the fuss about the water meters a few years ago, the City offered an opt-out for anyone who wanted it, but only very few people took them up on that.

Alliant Energy wants to install wireless meters in Fairfield. There's going to be community meeting at the Fairfield Public Library tonight, Tuesday September 26 at 7:45 pm. If you are concerned about being exposed to the radiation from these meters, here is a chance to learn more and to find out how we can oppose the meters or push for an opt out as we did with the water meters. I'm forwarding the following email from committee organizers. Best, Diane ATTN: ALLIANT ENERGY WILL BE INSTALLING WIRELESS SMART METERS TO ALL CUSTOMERS According to Daniel Hirsch, radiation expert “UCSC “ “This Wireless smart meter will produce 50-160 times more cumulative whole body exposure of microwave radiation than one cell phone close to the ear.”— Research shows that pulsed microwave RF (radio frequency) transmitted via Smart meter disrupts the entire human nervous system and inflicts DNA damage. Many people report brain fog, inability to sleep, headaches, tinnitus, burning in the joints etc. Multiple studies correlate RF (radio frequency ) exposures with diseases such as cancer , neurological disease, immune dysfunction , and electromagnetic hypersensitivity. The microwave radiation emitted by these meters will create a strong RF field of radiation effecting everyone living in the buildings, in particular those in close proximity on all 3 floors. We need to organize to arrange an opt out for everyone who desires it.. There is no assurance of an opt out at this time. Alliant energy will be coming to present their side of the issue in October. Before that we are having a community meeting. Please attend. ALL COMMUNITY MEETING at Fairfield Public Library Tuesday, September 26 7:45 PM Please come, this issue effects everyone and the welfare of the community.
