red-tags, meter read-outs, dealing with meter and off-peak issues, as well as delivering and
installing new meters to commercial customers. They continue to change out the three phase
meters with meters that will be read by radio ERT. Meter changes for Area 2 are being

MVRS; the new software will give us greater capabilities in meter reading and data sharing.

exception of engine 4 ran well. We are currently working on engine 4 to determine why we
could not get that one online.
