How will AMR affect my home-based HAM radio system? Our system is not broadband over power line and will not interfere with ham radio because it’s at a much lower frequency.
How will AMR affect my satellite system? It should have no effect. Our carrier signal over the power lines is at a much lower frequency than satellite communications. How will this technology affect my rates? Lake Country Power performed an extensive cost analysis before implementing the system. We identified efficiencies and savings that offset the installation costs over the life of the system. It should not affect your rates. Why is my bill due date changing? We’re streamlining our billing process in conjunction with this project. We can’t change all members to Automated Meter Reading at once, so we phase in reading and billing meters as we are able, thus we create a new schedule and new bill due dates for the meters read through AMR. Meanwhile, meters that haven’t been changed out are billed in the cycle and schedule we previously used. It’s expected all meters will be changed out by the fall of 2007, and all changes related to bill due dates will be complete by December 2007.

We identified efficiencies and savings that offset the installation costs over the life of the system. It should not affect your rates. What is the durability of the new meter? The new electronic meter meets or exceeds all standards for electric utility use. It has no moving parts and is built for long life. We have had experience with commercial electronic metering for twenty years with proven durability. Now that I no longer need to read my meter, what billing options does the cooperative offer that will help me pay my bill? Lake Country Power offers LCP Easy PAY and budget billing. The member can still read the LCD display on the meter to double-check billing or verify their own usage.
