Nice catch. Need to dig and find out if they used smart meters and they were used for homes and/or feeder pipes.
Smart meters deployed there starting around 2013. Smart meters (and everything else electronic) can be hacked. Here's a petition to let people go back to hardwired meters. Wonder if this is how it was done?
