The DPU response to the concern about private information becoming available via smart meters is the assurance that this information is available now via an IPRA request.

I am surprised to see that this response has not been met with howls of derision from the sophisticated residents of our county. Aside from the timeliness of an electronic intrusion, for an IPRA request to be processed, complete information is required that identifies who has requested it.

An anonymous hacker of the County/DPU records will not be so disadvantaged with respect to criminal intent!
