First I want to thank you for taking time out to help with my problem.just a few hours ago I submitted it and now an answer. I'm just a lay person but the utility company through phrases and words that sounded like they meant something but sounds like a runaround. I appreciate your opinion.by the way they wanted to charge for 8 years of use instead of 3 months when they came out to install meter and discovered jumpers. Definely was a money decision
