Locking meter box whilst submitting own readings?

[yorto]

So can I use my own lock to lock the meter box since I am submitting my own reads now? I don't think paying $70 for a lock is fair...

Hey yorto,

Thank you for getting in touch!

You are within your rights to use your own lock on your meter box. It's important to be mindful of the fact that if you fail to provide your own meter that your bill will be estimated.

Kind regards,
