WAPA Smart Meters

So, in March WAPA replaced the electric meter at my house with a smart meter. (I only noticed because they turned the power off to do it and neglected to turn it back on.) I thought it surprising that WAPA would voluntarily update functioning meters, until I saw the following article, after which I began to wonder if the change was simply because WAPA got a "deal" to use up surplus meters that stateside communities are now ripping out due to catastrophic failure. Any thoughts?

Welcome back!
it has been a while
the article is kind of scary .
i hope they forget us just like they did with evo-before we got rid of innovative
Wait a second! You're back?!

WAPA said the smart meters that they use are not the same ones (different manufacturers) than those with the reported problems.
i hope they are right
Welcome Back dntw8up. I missed you! Tammy

Thanks for the warm greetings folks.
It's good to hear the meters are from a different manufacturer.
