What happens if a meter seal is cut?

It must be known that cutting a meter seal is illegal and is a prosecuting offense.

The property owner is responsible for the damage to the meter or any CFEC facilities. When a meter seal is cut, the integrity of the meter has been compromised and an investigation is conducted by CFEC. The investigation will determine the damages, energy losses, and assure all safety requirements are still in place. In most cases an investigation charge is applied.
