PEPCO - Smart Meter Installation today in CUA South Campus Neighborhood

Today, there will be PEPCO representatives installing Smart Meters in the Catholic University of America South Campus neighborhood.  Representatives will knock on the door and inquire if anyone in the home is currently dependent on the electrical source such as residents on life support.  The representatives will turn off the electricity and install the meter.  There is no reason the representative should need entry into the house.  The process should not take longer than 5 min.

If there are any concerns about any representatives, contact MPD by dialing 911.
