492,805 meters pulsing 10 times a day equals 4,928,050 pulses of radiation a day .
WSSC is cherrypicking the facts to downplay the radiation exposure of their water meters. Just like lead companies argued that the lead from gas emissions was so so low, WSSC is not arguing that their meters pulse so so little. While it is true that battery powered meters pulse less than electric meters, the cold hard fact is that EVEN if the AMI meters pulse just 10 times a day, that means over 4 million pulses int our community!
If they choose meters that pulse just once a day that means over 400,000 pulses.
When it comes to radiation, it is a matter of perspective.
The birds and bees will be harmed from this exposure. We will be harmed.
