Comments
I bet there's an interesting story behind this.
It's simpler than what you think.
High electric usage 24/7 = marijuana grow house.
Could be!
Go ahead and add the bill for this one to the War on Drugs tab.
This is a move in the good direction if your for freedom. As it is now utilities hand your data out like candy for minor fees that we the tax payer pays for anywho. So this forces them to keep the data to themselves till police produce a warrant for that info.
