Smart Meters - Public Service Commission

The smart meter was installed in my neighborhood about a week ago, after it was installed my dogs started
going crazy. I have not had a good night sleep since. I tried to figure out anything that could be causing their
change in behavior, but the only thing different was the smart meter. They act just like they do when there is a
thunder storm or fireworks going off. They are constantly jumping up and down on me acting very nervous and
never lying at rest. They act like they hear something and it is very upsetting to them. Can this be possible?
Any other complaints from dog owners? PG&E left a flyer saying it has not been activated as of yet??? Would
that make a difference to the high frequency? Any help would be appreciated and I will do all I can to help stop
this process. M.R. Sonoma County
PS. I realized that I also had a problem with my garage door opener. I had my garage open on two different
occasions…I was very alarmed and upset because my side door is always opened for the dogs. I heard a loud
roar and I couldn’t figure out what it was and upon opening the back door, I saw my garage door was up……
lucky my dogs didn’t get out………I didn’t even think of the smart meter until now. This happened twice. I had
to unplug it. I now believe the coffee pot was crackling from the electric outlet and not on………….I can’t be
sure of the coffee pot because I can’t remember if I saw the green light on or not…but to be awakened in the
middle of the night to popping sounds was very unusual.
ADMIN note: This person’s meter was removed the very next day after they called PG&E. This is unusual,
the majority of people who have complaints are unable to get them removed.

I have been living with a smart meter for only 3 weeks and have been suffering nausea, anxiety, depression and
a low grade head ache. Prior to moving into a smart meter vicinity I had none of these symptoms. Smart
meters emit pulsed microwave radiation which has been found by numerous studies to be health damaging. I
want my smart meter removed but have been told by P G and E that I have no choice in this. I will continue
protesting until my meter is removed and the longer I have to wait the more I will spread the word about P G
and Es invasion of my privacy, installation of a health damaging device and refusal to remove it. I.W. Menlo

I cannot explain nor rationalize what I have experienced in the past few months since PG&E installed a smart
meter at my residence. Since February 2012 I have had experienced the following: My Labrador Retriever had
a case of old dog vestibular “vertigo”, both my Schipperkes have been diagnosed with diabetes, one now has
Cushing’s disease, I myself spent a day in the emergency room with vertigo and almost 3 weeks not being able
to work due to the vertigo “ I still have symptoms” and now one of my dogs has an unexplained infection? I
have been a licensed electrical contractor since 2004 and have been in the trades since 1993, I have never
heard of anything like this nor would I believe a silly device on a pole 15’ from my home could cause such
effects. It’s just, could it cause them? I do not see that the device at my home is UL Listed? Has it been tested?
I called PG&E and asked to have it removed they said that there would be a fee to remove it and that the power
I used from that day on would be charged at the highest rate? How can that be? Why have the PUC if they do
not regulate the utility companies? M. F. Sonoma County

I have been experiencing ringing in my ears at home for the last 5-6 days. I read an article last night about
these smart meters causing tinnitus and I realized the ringing began the same time the meter was installed. I
did a test today and while I was gone from my home for a few hours I did not have the ringing, yet after I was
home for 1 hour my ears began to ring. How do we protect ourselves from this? No one asked if we wanted it,
and If I can no longer deal with this problems where am I supposed to go if they are being erected all over the
