AMR (automated meter reading) Update

We are successfully reading most of the AMR meters on the system; however, there are some meters that do not report in and need to be read by the member to avoid estimation.  We will make computer-generated phone calls to remind those falling into that category.  These readings need to reach us by the 19th of every month.  You may call (218-634-2202) or email patsynsec@wiktel.com .
