Nanaimo co-housing residents block smart-meter installation

Residents of Pacific Gardens Co-housing Community blocked Corix Utilities technicians from entering the building when they came to install smart meters this week.

Residents of the complex on Seventh Street in south Nanaimo said they turned installers away twice when they arrived with smart meters and work orders Monday morning.

The first meeting was cordial and the installer was polite and understanding, residents said, but on the second visit, an exchange between an installer and the residents heated up when they refused to let him pass.
