Hi all, there are some funny stories in this thread, but please cut out the bashing of people based on profession. This can easily stay on the light and funny side.
As a taxpayer, parent and rental property owner, I'm happy that cops check out this kind of stuff. Yes, they've beento my door about the lights, we all had a good laugh about it.

Contrary to popular belief, Hydro does not report excessive usage to the police, use as much power as you want, as long as you pay the bill, Hydro doesnt care what you are doing. The only contact Hydro has with police is after they bust you and the cops call Hydro to pull the meter if there are electrical issues.

I was wondering about this too when I first started reading this thread. I thought there was a privacy act in play that protected customer's consumption use. And hydro would report to the rcmp if they noticed more power being consumed than metered (meter bypass).

Interesting. From what I have heard they now do report spikes in usage though. That was on the news though, so maybe not true.
