RF home water meters: potential for interference with wire..

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

AQUA Pennsylvania has announced that it will be installing RF water meters
for residential customers. In a letter dated 7/29/2004 sent out to
customers, the company writes, "We will be able to take readings simply by
driving by your property." Can these RF water meters interfere with WAP
units such as the Linksys WAP11?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. I'll try to find out who makes their RF meters.
