Steve,
Do the pocos have much trouble with people tampering with meters to slow the dial? It seems as though just a small bit of clay added discretely to the dial could cut energy consumption by a great deal.
absolutely they do. I know of one person (parts runner for a company I worked for) that had tampered with his and after three months he got home one afternoon to find a Sherrif deputy waiting to arrest him. He spent of couple of days in jail, had to pay for an estimated amount of unbilled usage, a fine, and I think a years probation.
